@killer-dream : has anyone ever betrayed their trust? do they still speak to them? (for everyone!)
Ritsuka’s been betrayed by a lot of people ! But it was kind of common place considering her families occupation and what she was doing. Most of them have ended up dead so , no , she doesn’t really speak to them anymore. In Chaldea , it’s not often that someone from within betrays the team. But when they do , they’re often dealt with fairly swiftly. Sometimes they come back as allies ! And at that point she has to let by-gones be by-gones for the sake of survival.
Selena has never really experienced major betrayal. There have been some petty moments between her and other academics on her journey up to Chaldea but otherwise she’s one of the more fortunate muses in that regard.
Tsuki was betrayed by the people she was supposed to be able to trust the most , her family. For the sake of surviving , she forgave and kept silent. But they’re all deceased now , so she can’t speak to them anymore even if she wanted to.
Yvoire , and the rest of the paladins , were betrayed by one of their own. Thankfully he isn’t summonable yet , but she would never want to speak to him if he was. In fact , she would more than likely try to kill him (again) herself , or at least convince the master to see him removed from Chaldea.
Vivianne’s situation is similar to Ritsuka. As a mercenary often employed by the church to take out mages , betrayal during her missions are commonplace and most of the perpetrators meet their end shortly afterwards. She’s learned not to take anything too personally , it’s just business after all.
I/ffrita has experienced such deep betrayal at the hands of many within her home realm of Chaos that it has fundamentally changed her as a person and molded the woman she grew to be. She speaks to none of them and has no want to. That’s why she’s gone so far as to cut herself off from ever being able to return.
Hikari has dealt with quite a few instances of professional and personal betrayal. She was often used for her status by others back in the present Sinnoh. It got to a point where she essentially became a hermit in Sinnoh’s ancient ruins because she had become so tired of being used by others for personal gain. After being sent to the past she was ultimately betrayed by Volo , someone she had allowed herself to grow comfortable around and put trust in. Despite her inclination towards cutting others off completely at the first sign of such behavior , Hikari stood up for Volo and offered to take him under her wing so that he wouldn’t become an outcast , giving him one more chance to live normally. Naturally , as he lives with her and is kept under constant supervision by her , they still speak frequently.
