[Void smiles at you.]

We use it/its pronouns and are a traditional artist, though we also sometimes draw MsPaint stuff. Our current main interest is Friendship Test!

Okay so I've pointed out before how Vents actually shares some attitudes with Nick: The world is a cruel place where you need to be strong and willing to do terrible things to survive. And I think this places her and Void on opposite sides of a spectrum where she is one of the individuals with the most awareness of the extend of Nick's actions, whereas Void is the most "oblivious" about it (even compared to Half, who joined the group most recently and certainly doesn't know about the memory wipes) and doesn't really agree with that whole mindset. And Vents thinks of them as sorta naive for that.

While I'd also describe everyone in the Bowling Team as imperfect victims, Vents is arguably the most extreme example. She seems to be on about the same level of awareness of things as Sparks, Off, and Devil. But for those three you can make the excuses that Sparks just watches, Off did end up leaving, and Devil is a conditioned dog. Meanwhile Vents chooses to stay and actively kills programs.

On top of that, the reasons for her actions are relatively selfish. On the more sympathetic side of it, she wanted to have slightly better living conditions. But she also chose to stick around as to not abandon their flowers, holds some amount of resentment towards Off for leaving, and their assault on FriendProgram specifically was a result of her having a shit day and lashing out.

I imagine all of this, from her perspective, should create a clash between her and Void in the post game. Void, who essentially kicked off the team escaping Nick because they weren't willing to let him get away with murder and continue to be complicit in it.

I'd go so far to say that unlike Void, Vents doesn't exactly feel guilty for her actions? The only time we see her express guilt is irt accidentally killing Soul, and that was only in relation to her getting close with Half.

No, I think the percieved tensions would arise less from her feeling guilty, and more not understanding why Void would continue to trust her. Vents has a lot of baggage surrounding trust and loyalty, and as far as she's concerned, she has likely severely damaged Void's trust.

But, I don't think Void would see this kinda gap between them. After all, they weren't as clueless to the situation as seems on a surface level. They too, acted out of "selfish" desperation.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter to them if they or Vents were terrible programs who did terrible things. It's evident that neither of them would do this if it wasn't for Nick. Ultimately, they were both victims who tried to support each other, and are now survivors, who in no world deserved to be in the situation they were in.
