The craziest thing about orufrey's dynamic is the gap of awareness between them about how doomed and tragic they are. Olruggio probably just thinks he's dealing with an emotionally distant and stubbornly reserved person who's dealing with some issues but can get better with time and effort, while Qifrey is constantly experiencing the horrors while burdening himself with the knowledge that he can never have what he wants or get too close to Olruggio because he could lose everything. They're on entirely different levels of doom awareness.
