Anyway thinking about Zero's relationships with the group and feeling slightly insane about it cause like
( @itsgirlcraft @dracl-dragon @starsoftheevening )
Zero and Guardian are like you're one of the only people I actually feel calm around /I know how scared you were for all of us,it means so much/ I'll never forgive Sabre for leaving you behind and the way he treated you /I want to believe the best in people but even if he wasn't good I know you are/ I hate every time I joked about you not doing anything,you tried so hard,you did so much /I feel like a hideous monster/ you're our angel /I don't want anything bad to happen to you, I want you to be safe/ you're everything,and I'm going to protect you,hold my hand,we'll get through this.
And then Zero and Azrial's relationship is like I don't even know why I got attached to you but I did and now you're precious to me /I wasn't aware we were being watched but it's nice in a way,knowing someone was looking out for us/ it stung when nobody went looking for you,I can't believe they just wrote you off /you do realize we're strangers,right? Why do you keep treating me so kindly like we know eachother?/ I hope you aren't too overwhelmed,I know this is a lot for you /this is all so much to take in,but...people like you are making it bearable/ you're actually nice to spend time with,you know that? /I'm so used to being underappreciated and ignored.../ The next time someone messes with you,I'm seriously going to bite their head off /I really don't know you, but you have made it obvious you just want to be friends so maybe I can allow that/ I just wanna be friends with you /we are friends,Zero/
And then her with Hypno is like- Oh my goodness,you're okay?! I was so worried- /You're an interesting one,aren't you? You searched for ME this long?/ I know your story by heart,you're the absolute coolest and I'm so so happy to see you again /I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Sabre anymore,but clearly you're not like him/ I understand if you don't want to trust me /No no,I already do./ Every time I think about how he left you in that lab I get furious, I'll never let that happen to you again /I don't have to read your mind to see how much you love us all/ I know you're good,I freaking love you,you did everything I wasn't capable of doing but I am now and I want to help you /Don't worry,I'm back,for real this time,we both are and we aren't going to lose eachother again/ I'm so curious about the pieces of your life we didn't get to see,I hope I'm not annoying you/ I'm flattered,really...It's rare to be so wanted, I'll reveal everything in time/ We're gonna get you back to Rainbow, promise /you know what? I think Rainbow would like you/
And then for Illusion it's like /All my life I was mistreated and humiliated,why would YOU be any different?/ I'll prove that I'm not like them,you're safe,really,you are /I just want to be left alone/ okay,I'll give you space,I'll do whatever I can to make you more comfortable /those two keep bothering me/ then I'll threaten to beat them up and we'll vote on ways to shut them up /are you out of your mind?/ Maybe,but at least I'm not hiding it! /You really do hate him too,don't you.../ More than you'd ever know,I hate him /You're actually tolerable sometimes. Just sometimes. /That's all I can hope for with you
And then we have Mark my beloved and it's- Your death was devastating and your return enough to make me lose my mind,I hope I didn't startle you with that fall /You all have been so cool and nice,even if it's all a little strange!/ It's okay,nobody blames you for what happened and I'll make sure they know the truth so they don't blame Petro either /I'm not even sure if I'm deserving of a second chance/ Mark,you deserve everything /it's kinda nice to know someone saw it. Like it wasn't meaningless/ I'll make sure you get that happiness back /just being around you all makes it easier/ you're wonderful,you really are /if there was someone watching us,I'm glad it was you guys/
And then. Ok this is kinda speculation cause I don't know c!IGC's thoughts on Everything but
It doesn't matter that I'm alone,I can't risk getting shut out again,I have to find them /I know who you're looking for,I want to help you/ you seem like such a nice person, I'd love to be friends with you /I'm going to make sure you accomplish those goals,I want you to be as happy as this world as I am/ you clearly know too much,but I trust you /I want this world to be a safe haven for you too/ you're really incredible,I've never met anyone like you /Here,I'll lead you to the people you mentioned,the ones you were worried about/ I love this world,you're my friend and I love you too
And I'm just a little insane about it,you know?
