The elephant in the room is this: Troy loves Abed, more than he could ever realize till they all nearly died to ABBA Gold and the Dean’s voice memos. Troy loves Abed, and he bites his tongue instead of saying the words.

[ID: A digital illustration of Abed Nadir, looking off to the side looking tense and upset, his hand clenched in a fist up by his chest. Three bright red cameras are pointed at him in the foreground, and the background is a scribbled fiery gradient with an eye peering over his shoulder. a text box above his head reads 'please don't do a special episode about me'.]
