Another area Clair Obscur scored gold in is pathetic men.
Gustave is only one moment away from ending it all 90% of the time, and in the remaining 10% he's actively trying to do it. He would say "If anything happens to Malle, I'm going to kill everyone in this room, and then myself" completely unironically and mean every word of it. He isn't only the oldest man in Luimere, but also absolutely the poor little meow meow-est.
Verso's aloof lone wolf TM persona does not survive five minutes of being in the team's general proximity. He folds like a particularly pliable piece of paper with the attempted nonchalance that's also paper-thin. I'd also bet a lot of money that if he was allowed to cry every time he wanted to (and needed to), the game's runtime would jump by at least five more hours.
And I think it's beautiful <3
