And this kinda compartmentalisation, I guess, happens with Millie as well, she's a surgeon for injured soldiers. She kinda separates herself into two parts, the one on the field and the sunny, helpful millie outside of it who's like a pillar for a lot of the characters. (aint healthy and this persona of herself and a habit of being unable to confront bad experiences in general leads to this kind of wall between her and pyrrha -- they get close, really close, pyrrha can kinda see on the other side of that wall, and then suddenly she can't reach any further. Pyrrha wonders sometimes if she even knows the real Millie or if Millie just doesnt trust her enough to tell her this. Also sometimes Pyrrha's reality as a soldier gets between them, Millie naturally has seen the horrors of war and doesn't like that Pyrrha is contributing to them. And Pyrrha thinks Millie is being unfair maintaining such a pacifist mmentality and refuses to accept reality, that sometimes you need to resort to violence to survive.)
Also, Pyrrha complains a lot about how she had to be Zephyr's confidant, and the pressure of being his second in command and bearing his emotional burdens, but she unwittingly does that to Millie. Because millie seems so welcome and is a very empathetic person.
Now i just need to figure out how to write that between side characters. I wasn't gonna write their POV but maybe...
