Stuff that makes me

I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room.

A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.
