I’m honestly salty the D5s had basically no development at all and were just throwaways so… I’ll make an ask dedicated to them. (Sorry Nona, Dio, Lect, and Coil…)
But anyways, what do you think the 5s were up to during training? How did they get adjusted to the apartment they were staying at? Did they care about each other? Why do you think their interview was a disaster?

Hihi! Sorry for ignoring you, been having no motivation lately. Love the question obviously ❤️
I think they were kinda just tailing behind the careers the whole time and kinda just awkwardly bonding with each other. Definitely think they kept looking over at the Newcomers and wondering if they should have done things differently. Outwardly reassuring themselves they've made the correct decision but truly, they're scared and wish they could be with the comradery of the Newcomers.
I don't think they really got adjusted to the apartment at all to be honest. Between, well, everything, I just believe that they were always too busy with the other things to think about for the apartment to be anything but the strangely, unfamiliar, lavish cage they were hosted in before being sent to their deaths.
They've got to have cared for each other, obviously :) Even barring the little world you've built around them, choosing to join the Careers is a tough choice and I don't think they would have made if it they didn't truly want at least one of them to survive long enough to even do something as seemingly small as getting to show they weren't useless. I mean they have to have known that they'd be killed as soon as they weren't considered useful, but still, they wanted to be able to have just a bit more of a fighting chance. And if that doesn't show care, I mean...
Don't have that much of an answer for the last one to be honest. I think it was a combination of nerves from, to be honest, quite literally every aspect of their lives at that point as well as just lack of planning.
Thanks for asking me!
