Hey, Mudskippers! What are your favourite subjects in school?

Katsuko: English! I like how in books, they TELL you what people are thinking and feeling (just don’t ask me to discuss it in a group)

Macco: History! It’s so cathartic to hear all the ways the people of this planet have made a pig’s ear of things

Zo: Maths! Everything has a right and a wrong answer - and I know ALL the right ones!

IkkI: Art! You just can’t beat making a big ol’ mess! (P.E.’s pretty fun too!)

Jull: Science, especially Biology! Anything to help me understand how to better help my friends!

Katsuko → Kalli: Acts like she hates her, but is curious about the society that shaped her and her thirst for knowledge

Kalli → Katsuko: Thinks of her as a fascinating “subject” but also feels sympathy for her and wants to help her somehow

Kalli → Zo: Close and companionable; sees her as an equal despite having more experience as a scientist

Zo → Kalli: Admires her technological skills (and may have a bit of a crush?); can be clingy

Zo → Macco: They effectively raised each other; she loves him but obeys his wishes a bit too easily

Macco → Zo: Protective of her; knows how capable she is but wants to be a little too involved (jealousy?)

Macco → Ikki: Seems to despise his recklessness, but secretly envies his confidence in his place in the group

Ikki → Macco: Claims to despise his uptightness, but enjoys ribbing him and recognises how he was shaped by his circumstances

Ikki → Jull: Nothing but love - affectionate and protective, but struggles to let him know how much he admires his intelligence and compassion

Jull → Ikki: Pure love - is grateful for his protectiveness, but wishes he could reciprocate it by being more useful

Jull → Katsuko: Intimidated by her, but admires her independence and determination

Katsuko → Zo: Annoyed by her perkiness, but is a bit jealous of her optimism and intelligence

Zo → Katsuko: Opposites attract? - fascinated by her cool demeanour and admires her despite knowing Katsuko isn’t that receptive to Zo’s affection

Zo → Jull: Loves bouncing off of him and feels she can be herself around him and confide in him in a way she can’t with Macco or Kalli

Jull → Zo: Enjoys her company despite (or partly because of?) her extreme extroversion compared to his extreme shyness; he admires her forwardness

Zo → Ikki: Enjoys his encouragement to take risks and admires his courage

Ikki → Zo: Fire and gasoline - a bit of a bad influence on her (or at least Macco would say so), and he relishes this

Ikki → Katsuko: Endeared to her - wants to take her under his wing and teach her confidence

Katsuko → Ikki: Both admires and is intimidated by his confidence, but finds him more approachable than Kalli or Zo due to his relaxed attitude

Ikki → Kalli: Appreciates her laid-back leadership but can’t really relate to her scientific manner

Kalli → Ikki: Sometimes annoyed by his abrasiveness, but admires his spirit of adventure

Kalli → Macco: Respects his opinions but thinks he could stand to be a bit more daring

Macco → Kalli: Looks up to and obeys her but thinks she might benefit from taking herself and her mission more seriously

Macco → Jull: Trusts his calmness and thinks he deserves more confidence

Jull → Macco: Feels secure around him and envies his cold logic

Macco → Katsuko: Admires her adaptability but doesn’t want to push her into anything she doesn’t want to be a part of

Katsuko → Macco: Feels “on the same level” as him due to both their impatience for shenannigans, but knows they don’t have much in common beyond that

Katsuko → Jull: Appreciates his gentle manner, but feels guilty that she can manipulate him without meaning to and fears he won’t last long on Earth

Jull → Kalli: Feels pressured to impress her, but enjoys her company

Kalli → Jull: Finds him endearing and wants to help him come out of his shell
