Aeren : He'd pretty much become suspicious of MC, as it'd feel like the calm before the storm. This unusual peace would disturb him, and he'd begin to constantly think about MC throughout the day, waiting for whatever prank they're planning, expecting them to suddenly jump out from the corner and sabotage his work. But then nothing of the sort happens, so he'd confront MC and ask them what are they playing this time. When MC tells him the truth that they're just afraid of ruining his work, he'd be genuinely touched, only for about two seconds, though, as he'd immediately accuse them that they're trying to lower his guard before pulling something weird. If MC insist that they really aren't planning anything, he'd then force them to stay obediently beside him during work, as a proof of their claim, he'd say. But it's pretty obvious he just want MC there.

Xuling : She'd quickly start to feel lonely as MC's presence always brighten her mood tremendously, even when they're being a menace. Without them around, she'd get bored more easily and might even treat her customer half-heartedly. She'd want MC to come back, but she can't possibly force them or ask them outright, so she'd come up with some excuse that can lure them to visit her store again, like saying she needs assistance since her hands have been sore lately, or that an imaginary customer is harassing her at work, literally creating any excuses she can think of to make MC stop avoiding her.

Ezell : He'd notice pretty quickly that MC has been avoiding him, especially when he's working. At first he'd assume that maybe MC couldn't handle seeing the way he deals with criminals, so he'd start capturing his target more carefully, using a more methodical and less violent method. Once he's gotten used to this new approach, he'd invite MC to accompany him again, reassuring them that he's changed how he works so they won't feel uncomfortable anymore. When MC admits that the violence isn't the problem here, that they're just trying not to disturb his work, he'd thank them for being so understanding, but then firmly tell them that they've never been a burden. If anything, their playful presence adds so much positivity in his gloomy, depressing routine, and he actually finds himself becoming more motivated whenever they're around.

So lil spoilers

ok so you know that scene where Atreus was telling Kratos to stop acting like father and think like a soldier and Kratos snap with "No!" And shakingly holding him telling him that he could've killed him

How would Ros plus john react?

Do you mean the ROs and John are in Atreus' position or only John is but the exchange is witnessed by the ROs? I think the first sounds a bit more interesting, so I'll tweak the line for the ROs from "stop thinking like a father" into "stop thinking like a lover."

Aeren : Normally, he'd keep arguing until MC sees things from his perspective, but when MC firmly says no, he'd be stunned by their firm response and feel kinda guilty about it. He'd realize that maybe, he underestimated just how terrified MC is of losing him. After that he'd try to lighten up the situation, saying things like, "Geez, fine. No need to get so worked up. We'll do it your way."

Xuling : She'd be stunned by MC refusal, immediately thinking that she must've suggested something horribly wrong. But then she hears the fear in their voice, and she'd realize this is just MC's way of trying to protect her, to keep her safe at all cost both from the situation and themself. In the end she'd apologize and promise she'd listen more to MC from now on.

Ezell : He'd believe that MC shouldn't be this protective of him, as he's a capable man who can protect himself just fine. But then he realizes that maybe the problem is not whether he could handle things or not, but that MC just doesn't want to go back to their old self and hurt him in the process. After that he'd accept MC's refusal, but then ask them to communicate more openly about what they need to do so that they can find solution that's best for both of them.

??? : Would flinch at MC's outburst and then apologize meekly, following MC's judgement without much protest after that. Since they're the type who struggle to see their own personal worth, a part of them still believe that their suggestion has merit in it, and might be the best optimal solution for their situation.

Aeren : Would try to cope by making himself busy, throwing himself fully into work. And once he's finished for the day, he'd visit MC, tell them about everything that happened during the day, sharing funny stories or cracking joke even though MC couldn't give any response. MC's continuous silence would eventually hit him with hopelessness all over again, and then he'd murmur with a cracked voice, "Wake up, you stupid birdbrain", before holding MC's hand and fallen asleep next to them.

Xuling : She'd fake her grief with a smile on her face, acting normal in front of everyone. When she visits MC, she'd take care of them, clean their body, comb their hair, hum a soothing tune. She'd then try to wake them up using her newly developed medicine, only to once again watch it fail as MC shows no sign of waking up. But she would never give up, creating new medicine each day and testing it on MC in hope that one of them would finally bring them back.

Ezell : Would seek out every doctor in Ashenwing to treat MC, spending every penny he has to give MC the best care as possible. He'd work even harder, so that he could afford to keep MC in the best hospital, he said. But in reality, it's his subconscious trying to make himself as busy as possible to forget about the reality. This cause him to visit MC less and less, but when he finally does, he'd crumble instantly, holding their hand and crying next to them until he falls asleep.

???: They'd do everything they can, squeezing every knowledge they have that might give them the answer to wake MC up. But if none of their theories and inventions work, they'd reach their breaking point, and a new, dangerous solution would cross their mind : if MC can't go back to their side, then maybe it's them who should go to MC's side instead.

Aeren : When they do domestic things together, like cooking together, hanging the laundry, eating dinner side by side, etc. There'd be this thought in his mind that says, "Damn this is nice", and that he would never ever trade moments like these with anything else. Not that he'd ever admit it out loud, though.

Xuling : When MC places their trust in her, even for something trivial like asking her to buy the groceries or trusting them to look after the house when they're away. She'd remember how far the two of them have come together, and that how grateful she is that MC who once struggled to trust her, gave her the chance to stay by their side for so many years.

Ezell : Whenever MC spends time with him or showers him with affection. It'd remind him that at one point, he had almost given up of on the idea of ever finding love. Every little gesture from MC would remind him that it's them who showed him how fortunate it is to ever experience something so beautiful like this.

Skinny penis-

ANYWAY Kratos MC with his background (instead of the god who made kratos kill his family it was a Nobel)

How would the Ros react to it plus John? Bonus MC comforting Harley's parents because they know what it's like to lose their child?

There are some minor of spoilers to the ROs backstory so read at your own risk:

Aeren : He'd be furious on MC's behalf and would have no objection if MC wants to choose the path of revenge. Even though the situations are different, there's some similarities in it that hit him far too close to home. If MC decide to walk that path, he'd be their most loyal partner, staying beside MC even if it leads him towards a dark place.

Xuling : Would be very heartbroken and as she realizes how much guilt MC must be carrying on their shoulder. She'd do her best to assure MC that the fault is not fully theirs, and that the nobles are the one who's truly responsible. Would encourage MC to find way to forgive themselves, event though she'd feel like a hypocrite saying it, as she herself isn't the type who does that.

Ezell : There's this part of him who hopes for MC to not let vengeance consume them and, but who is he to ask that of anyone? He'd struggle with how to approach MC from then on, but he'd also see their past as an opportunity to reflect on his own actions. In the end he'd wish that the two of them could find the path to healing together.

??? : Would pretty much ask MC if they need help in taking out the nobles responsible for the death of their family. Just say the word, give them the command, and they'd do everything in their power to make MC's wish come true.

John : Would hug MC, crying without saying a word. Would pretty much become more protective towards MC. At the same time, he'd keep a close eye on them, worried that their grief would lead them down a bloody path.
