The Chairman and the Supernova are often seen together after a long day of work in Hammerlocke City. Lately, they have been closer than ever, and people can't help but notice the way they look at each other.
This drawing takes place shortly after Briar moves to Hammerlocke City. Since Briar's lab connects directly with the Power Plant, Rose and Briar often see each other and go out together for dinner in the afternoon.
... At this point, they have both realized they have feelings for the other, but haven't admitted it out loud yet. Still, their actions speak louder than their words, because despite being too oblivious to figure it out, others have noticed the way they look at other, the way they care for the other.
However, because Rose lives in Wyndon, they can't see each other as frequently as before, but whenever Rose has to travel to Hammerlocke to oversee something about the Eternatus Project, he makes sure to invite his Lead Scientist out for dinner.
In some way, Eternatus brought them together.
During the winter, Rose realized that Briar doesn't handle the cold very well; and even if she's all covered up, she can't help but tremble, so he offers her his scarf. He also understood why Briar has a certain affinity to fire-types, and seeing this side of her is very cute.
