random thought before I get back to “work”
By the way, this is for my portrayal of Gula specifically, not canon.
I think about how trust is part of Gula’s role. At first, he believes he can’t trust because the Master said so. But his trust truly begins to breakdown as things progress. He really believes he can’t be friends with anyone from then on. At the same time, he seems to be good friends with Ava the whole time. You can’t have friendship without trust. ;v; I’ll write more about these two later.
I think part of if it is denial that if he trusts even an inch, he would betray half of his role, or worse, a fear that he would end up being the traitor, and so on. Which would explain why he still wanted to remain friends with Ava and everyone else, despite how distant he became. He wanted to believe that possibility was still there. Up until everything fell apart at least.
Aside from his role, I take his age into consideration too. He’s a foreteller but he is still very young and impressionable. Of course his trust in people would break faster than an adult’s would when bad things happen.
I think this is why he was so quick to break the Master’s role early on anyway. If he doesn’t have trust he has nothing to lose, especially if the world would end anyway and there’s nothing not even Kingdom Hearts could change.
This isn’t done but I need to stop for now. I will flesh this out more later on.
