Sending this til Tumblr stops eating this ask. What are the reactions of Ortho and the rest of Diasomnia to Yuu's reveal?
I'm going to link the others here so people can easily access them.
Trey and Cater reactions---Epel reaction---Jamil and Kalim reactions---Idia and Riddle reactions---Jack and Ruggie reactions---Floyd, Jade, and Azul reactions
I'm pretty sure those are all the characters I've wrote, but if there's any reaction wrote in the past that I've forgot please link it in the comments and I'll update the post.
Ortho feels horrible, like really, really horrible. He's never been as outwardly bad as the others, but that doesn't mean the treatment towards you was justified. He's a more rational being though, and attempts to rationalize his behavior after Yuu's true nature is revealed. Yuu was their friend, they meant to much to many of them, so at one point, their actions were justified, even if they were being hasty. They couldn't know better because there was no frame of reference beyond what Yuu told them--right? After everything that happened with Styx, Ortho learns a lot about himself, about what he wants, about who he wants to be--and he want's to be a better person. He wants to be someone that his brother and others can be proud of--he wants to be a friend. It's sad loosing one, but this is just another great opportunity to make a new one!
Deep down however, Ortho just feels lonely. His brother is in shambles, he feels a mess, and he wants to desperately for things to get better. Partially, he feels cheated and lied to--and it's a dirty and nasty feeling. He'd be lying if he didn't think about getting payback from Yuu, but that's not going to fix anything, he knows that. So, he works very hard on keeping Yuu as far away from you as possible, notifying you whenever they're nearby. It helps that he and his brother as one of the only people you'll talk to, even if you don't know who they actually are--it's progress in his eyes.
Silver feels empty, it's a strange feeling. It's hollow and echoing around inside of him, a constant reminder of the friendship he gained and lost in such a short time. His father used to encourage him to make friends, to broaden his horizons and see the world for what it truly had to offer, and if this is it--he doesn't see the appeal. The feeling of betrayal is bitter and sickening, collecting behind his tongue like bile that never leaves. He hates it so much, even more than the idea of his father leaving or Malleus trapping them in a never ending dream. He wants it gone, he wants Yuu gone, but he knows it's a fruitless endeavor, one that would only bring those around him even more pain. So he sleeps, and he dreams, and he wonders if this was why Malleus was so desperate to bring about a better world, because he felt betrayed by the one he already existed in.
Silver wonders if Yuu even feels any regret, if they wake up in a cold sweat regretting their choices. Sometimes, in his own Dreams, Silver imagines Yuu feeling horrible, apologizing to those around them, and everything going back to normal. In his other dreams, he imagines screaming and yelling, words flowing out of him like a waterfall as he watches Yuu break down. Most of the time he can't even hear what he's saying, each word distant and silent. It's like even his mind can't imagine holding Yuu accountable for their own actions. Maybe this makes him a bad person, and that's what drives him to try and apologize to you, but you don't want to hear anything from any of them. He should've expected it, but it still hurts.
Sebek tries everyday to be there for his young Master. Locked away in his room, Sebek tries desperately to reach out to him, to get him to respond to something, but it's silent, the only sign of his emotions being the hard, never ending rain outside. Sebek himself doesn't know what to feel. Lilia has tried to get Sebek to talk about what he's feeling, but truly he feels nothing. No betray or depression, no anger or sadness. He feels upset for Malleus, sure, but he feels nothing for himself.
Sebek, at first, was livid. He wanted to drag Yuu up to Diasomnia to make him apologize for what they've done to Malleus, to everyone at school, but it was Malleus who told him to stay away from them, and he wasn't one to appose his Master. It felt strange how, even after everything, Malleus still felt this need to protect the person who lied to them, but maybe Malleus simply wanted all of this to be over, and Sebek couldn't help but agree. When he's alone, not caring for Malleus or Silver, he wonders if this emptiness, this nothing feel feels is what it means to loose a friend. Sebek never thought he'd make a good companion, he never though he had other be one, but now that he's lost Yuu, he wishes he friendship wasn't such a fruitless endeavor.
Lilia expected this to happen, truly he did. He's old, he's seen it all. He's had friendships come and go, and he knew from the very beginning that Yuu wasn't going to keep up their charade for long. It was, at its strongest, a cover to keep you close, and at its weakest, and sting of flimsy lies strung up together that the others were too naive to notice. He wants to be surprised, but what is there to be surprised about? Yuu lied, it's revealed, and the world kept spinning, as cruel as it may sound. Lilia truly is more concerned with you, are you taking care of yourself? Eating, drinking? Malleus won't leave his room, even when he tries to coax it out with promises of happiness and improvement, and with this torrential rain, it's lot like much schooling is going on.
Lilia eventually will force Malleus to leave his "cave", stop his sulking, and great the day with something less than contempt, but until then--Lilia is fine with keeping a very keen, very discreet eye out for you. Despite this whole ordeal, he knows you still aren't in the most favorable position. People are still ignoring you, or trying to get on your good side, Lilia is just trying to make sure you're doing okay, even from a distance. Perhaps it's out of guilt for not doing something sooner, perhaps it's out of some strange sense of care, but he'll try to insure you're somewhat happy, even if that means keeping you away as far as possible from the rest of them.
Malleus hasn't felt his room. He doesn't see the point in doing so, Yuu hates them--they hate him. He never knew how badly something like this could hurt him, it feels horrible, disgusting, agonizing. His chest feels tight and heavy, like his heart is breaking and expanding all at once. When his finders tighten around his chest, he feels no comfort or reprieve, only pain. It makes him question friendship, love, companionship, what's the point of the happiness if this is what will eventually come? For days it rains and rains and rains, and he feels nothing but emptiness as he wonders what he could've done to prevent his. Lilia says there was nothing that could've been done, Sebek says to forget Yuu, but how could he when Yuu was the only person who understood him.
Malleus still feels connected to Yuu, despite all that's happened. He feels betrayed and angry, but connected nonetheless. He wants to help them--like they helped him, but Lilia says that they don't want any help, that this was who they truly were the entire time. Maybe that is true, maybe Yuu was always this horrific person that everyone says they are, but then why did it feel so real? Why did their friendship feel deep and destined? It couldn't be fake. He believes that in his deepest soul, that his relationship with Yuu was deeper, realer than others, and that had to count for something. Even if no one else sees what he sees, he believes that Yuu could be better.
