kyra

— when ryoshu has taken an interest in you, it reveals quite an interesting side of her! when it first hits her that she really is into you, she's hit with a mix of interest and annoyance. on one hand, she's interested in being able to observe you, and on the other hand she finds she feelings she has for you a little bothersome and distracting, but no matter, she wants to see how this plays out.

— it's not too noticeable at first, but when out working, she subconsciously finds different excuses to be with you. whether it's for the check up and she opts to be on your team, or if it's for some job that requires splitting up, she always wants to work alongside you.

— shadows you? sorta? during routine battles, she may find herself looking over in your direction more often to make sure you're safe and nothing goes wrong. if something does go wrong however, best believe she's caught it before you did and has already eliminated the threat. she's just cold like that 🙂‍↕️

— gives you odd little gifts that she finds while out. usually it's just whatever she finds mildly appealing that she wants to share with you. usually ranging from a random bone she picked out of someone to an origami or paper craft she made during her downtime.

— continuing on from the last one, i feel like she would make paper crafts and leave them in front of your door. probably an animal or something with a string attached to it

— slightly more receptive to the things you say, and overall a bit more open to conversing with you. in fact, she may even find reasons to speak to you. usually it's random advice on how you fight or a compliment disguised as an "observation".

— when the rest of the crew starts to wonder why she's been so interested in you as of late and the question of a crush finally comes up, she shrugs them off with something about how you're just more interesting than them.

— for the final confession, it's a little tricky. i interpret her as the type to be straight up with her feelings, but i also see her as the type to make a game out of it just for fun. either way, when you finally learn how she feels about you all she does is crack a smile at you with a hand in her pocket and gives you the final offer:

— being ricardo's younger sibling is filled with lots of adventure and fun! he teaches you how to fight IMMEDIATELY, and starts off young too! he ADORES the idea of you becoming strong and capable, and he'll do whatever he can to achieve that!

— he wouldn't take you out on missions for a while, because he wants you to be fully capable and prepared to defend yourself. you probably spend most of your years begging to at least go and watch him, but for your safety he doesn't let you come along until he knows you're fully capable.

— he brings back all sorts of trinkets and trophies from his missions to you, your room is filled with things your big brother has spent collecting over the years, and you cherish them all.

— ricardo cares about all of the siblings of the middle equally, but if you're biologically related to him, i would imagine you take slightly more priority. injured in a mission? all tasks are to be stopped and an immediate retreat is issued, he assigns all few little brothers to assess your injuries, and he then leaves out to personally handle the person who hurt you.

— takes you to all sorts of cool spots around the city.. or at least what he thinks is cool. you're quite appreciative and you're just happy to spend time with your big brother!

— if you're on the younger side (under 16), he tries to find other ways to keep you entertained, such as telling you stories about him and his brothers and how you'll be that great too in due time!

— if you're on the older side (above 16), he feels more comfortable letting you watch him work. you take many many notes and he is quite pleased work your progress!!

— aside from your fighting capabilities, he also values your physical appearance. he makes sure you look presentable, especially your hair! i feel like he wouldn't mind sharing a few hair coupons with you, not often, though..

— your first successful mission with him, he watched you get your first kill and he was off the WALLS. his younger sibling showing signs of early success because of his and their hard work? he immediately takes you and the other siblings of the middle out to celebrate, an arm wrapped around your neck, enthusiastically boasting about the great things to come.

— when you see him injured for the first time (canto 5, maybe?), you immediately panic. but he immediately assures you he's fine and that he can continue, despite his obvious injuries. this was the first time you wanted to enact revenge for him, and it was the real chance to put all of his training to the test.

— ellen joe, who leaves some candies on your desk as an attempt to get closer with you and express her interest since she's too shy to actually approach you. <3

— ellen joe, who eventually becomes your friend and rents videotapes, thinking only of how she wants to share them with you. or better yet, watch them with you, and ends up flustering herself in the process. <3

— ellen joe, who genuinely tries her absolute best when it comes to doing schoolwork with you, because she wants to be the best she an be for you and so you'll hopefully be impressed by her skills. <3

— ellen joe, who reveals her work to you and lets you watch her fight, making sure to try her absolute hardest so you know that she's worth it and that she can protect you. <3

— ellen joe, who wants nothing more than to laze around and nap with you, often inviting you over just to chat about nothing and sleep. <3

— ellen joe, who learns all of the secrets and cheat codes of the video games you enjoy, and goes out of her way to send you videos of her playing them where she will subtly do a secret trick or code to impress you, and to make you smile. <3

— ellen joe, who watches you during class, one hand on her cheek and the other on her desk. her eyes resting gently on you. almost as if she's protecting you from an invisible danger. <3

— ellen joe, who insists on walking you to all of your classes because she "just feels like it" and totally not because she wants to be around you for a little longer. <3

sinner no. 1 — yi sang

hugging yi sang would be filled with gentleness and comfort. he would tense up a little bit when you wrap your arms around him, but would eventually ease up when they're fully wrapped. i feel like he's naturally cold, but despite that, his hugs still feel comforting. i feel like he would pat your back a little as well as he pulls away.

sinner no. 2 — faust

hugging faust would be an interesting experience, at first, she says no, and then again, and again, and again.. but eventually she finally agrees to let you hug her! you'd wrap your arms around her and she wouldn't really return it that much, would mostly just stand there and look down (or up) at you as you hug her. face filled with curiosity, probably wondering why people like hugs so much anyway.

sinner no. 3 — don quixote

hugging don will be filled with excitement and warmth! she feels honored you wanted a hug from her, and she happily accepts. squeezes you tight, but not too tight! she doesn't wanna hurt you! she's also the type to rub your back gently right before she pulls away, feeling quite proud of herself and happy she got to hug you!

sinner no. 4 — ryoshu

hugging ryoshu would be an unexpected experience, like faust, i feel like she's the type to decline a few times before finally saying yes. she's the type to give those one arm hugs and sometimes two arms when she's feeling good that day. i feel like her hugs carry a special warmth, though. when you hug her, it fills you with ease, and it feels like nothing can hurt you or get to you while your wrapped around her. also has a naturally warm body temperature.

sinner no. 5 — meursault

hugging meursault would be a very standard experience. he accepts your proposal, wraps around you firmly with both arms, holds it for about exactly three seconds, then pulls away. he may also pat your back a little bit.

sinner no. 6 — hong lu

hugging hong lu is a joyful experience! he gladly accepts your request and wraps around you with both of his arms. he has a very firm but gentle grip on you, you can literally feel the warmth radiating off of him. he seems like the type to pat your head a little bit before pulling back with a smile on his face, and hopefully one on yours.

sinner no. 7 — heathcliff

heathcliff, surprisingly, says yes when you first ask. it's more like a "..sure why not." but it works! he would also tense up a bit as he sees you coming in, but would overall be accepting. he would probably wrap around you with one arm while looking away all embarrassed. his hugs are quite nice, though! he pats your back firmly and pulls away first, satisfied.

sinner no. 8 — ishmael

ishmael would accept with a sigh, not an annoyed one, but a relaxed one. she wraps one arm around you at first, but eventually decides to wrap the other one around you too. she flashes a slight smile when she looks down and sees how pleased you look. she didn't understand why you chose her to hug out of all people, but nevertheless it makes her feel quite wanted. she'd also rub you back gently for the entire duration of the hug. you end up pulling away first.

sinner no. 9 — rodion

hugging rodya fills you with a sense of comfort and familiarity, she hugs with both arms, and may lift you off the ground a little, not intentionally, but i feel like it's just something that happens naturally when she hugs people. makes you feel safe, yknow?

sinner no. 10 — dante

dante would nervously accept as confused as they are, but they eventually warm up. they wrap around you with both arms and would probably melt into you a little bit, making it seem like this is something they've been needing for a long time. they pat your back twice before pulling away.

sinner no. 11 — sinclair

sinclair accepts nervously as well, gently holding you with both arms wrapped around you, almost a bit too gentle, like he's afraid of accidentally hurting you. i feel as if his arms wouldn't fully be wrapped around you, only halfway, he's likely too shy to fully hug you, but he's still smiling nonetheless! 10/10 experience

sinner no. 12 — outis

another sinner who declines a bunch of times before reluctantly giving in, she gives those awkward side hugs and when you tell her that's not enough she starts yapping about how she can't do that in front of her executive manager blah blah blah.. but when you two are away from everyone else? she offers a firm hug with both of her arms. the hug doesn't last long, but it's good enough for you.
