Woohoo!!!! The final batch~!!!!!

he really refused to slow down with it. this led to him getting very angry and irritable or just not expressing much emotion in general as he worked

snake was the person hard had the toughest relationship with. snake's boredom and frustration leading him to cause trouble and hard being easily angered by this point was not a good combo. hard cares about snake, but like. the ways he expressed it were indirect or related to their work. which led snake to be distrustful of hard especially with how he acts openly toward him and what happened with wily before

top was hard's closest confidant in these times and only top really got a good understanding of how much hard was suffering with the overworking emotionally and saw the full scope of what sort of feelings hard was trying to deal with aside from those that others saw. but it was pretty useless to try and convince him otherwise at all. hard would listen to top on other subjects though, at least. top felt sympathy for him but also was a little terrified sometimes… hard appreciated top's company a lot especially when he's stressed, top is good at de-escalation and just generally calming things down as a part of his pilot skills

needle, gemini and spark all really stayed out of hard's lane and didnt interact with him much, and of course hard was not really trying to interact with them beyond the necessary either with the whole closing himself off from everyone else stuff
