𝙲𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚖: Kenning and Cecilia bonded over "Shared" roots in the past.

Image 1: From Miss Heed's Book

From this page, we get to learn that Miss heed is the younger sibling out of two.

This aligns with the implications that Flug is the youngest as well.

This makes me wonder if they bonded over it? Perhaps even poured their heart out over it in quiet moments? With a catch, of course.

Image 2: From episode one

This picture insinuates Flug was likely neglected or overshadowed by his brother. It also shows that the older brother (i say older because he seems short i dunno,) needn't be perfect either (shown from untucked shirt and off centered tie), yet their parents appear to fawn over him.

When contrasting it to heed's family, the family dynamic with two siblings is very close, aside from a tiny difference.

Image 3: From Miss Heed's book

Heed was the one that overshadowed her sibling. She was her family's golden child.

Call me crazy, but her brother seems to be hitting the same pose as Flug. Furthermore, HE'S BEEN CUT OUT OF THE PHOTO IN THE BOOK! This happens in the following image aswell.

Image 4: From Miss Heed's Book

He isn't here, despite being older than Cecilia (mentioned in image 1).

Another thing to note is Miss Heed's behaviour of taking other people's experiences and twisting it into her own.

[Example A, Image 5: From Miss Heed's book

What she claims and states in the above are NOT her own experiences. Those belong to Flug. Flug was the one who had his compassion taken advantage of at the Institute, he was the one that was tricked into finishing up the formula upon getting hypnotized and he was the one that was forcibly kissed.

This happens in episode 6 as well, in the following screenshot.

Example B, Image 6: From Episode 6:

Miss Heed was not truly "used", but caught off guard. You know who WAS used, and the show admits so aswell? Dr Flug.]

Cecilia mentions her wants of becoming special to Kenning, which inspired him.

𖦹

My intepretation of the above information/headcanon based on the above information is that Kenning at one point may have confessed his feelings of inferiority towards his brother to Cecilia, whom he saw as a friend at the Institute. Upon learning this, Cecilia may has seen an out to get closer to him and his 'gift' by bonding over a shared experience she did not truly have. She may have portrayed herself as the neglected one, perhaps even ranting about it to him, using it as an explanation for her desperation to become special, which inspired Flug to work harder. Reflecting back Flug's sorrow at him so he didn't feel so alone, Cecilia further established herself as a close friend of his. The added fact they were both the youngest of their respective families made the small lie seem so full of care at the time.

This could be yet another factor why Flug did not suspect her then, instead worried for her safety and missed her. Because he saw them as similar.
