questionably invested in stealing you away

jade: may target you specifically for being in love, so that she can watch that love crumble, deteriorate, and turn to dust. delights in pushing you to destroy your relationship without resorting to anything other than psychological warfare. finds much entertainment in documenting your mental breakdowns in her tidy journal, right alongside nature observations. is affected by jealousy, but using that as an opportunity to see just how long she can go playing with you, even as that jealousy eats her alive. may or may not be an actual devil. from the bible.

jamil: will consider stealing kalim's lover, especially if they are "yuu"/some other rando who's already not going to fit into asim family smoothly due to their poor social standing. it's fair game for her, then: the kind of betrayal that cannot be proven easily, will break kalim's heart, and can easily be blamed on you pursuing her first, should the rumours ever breach containment and get back to the main family. truly, fucking you (over) is one huge win. i'd say, however, that even without a petty revenge to execute there's something to being the chosen one... the one to demolish your previous relationship for... the one so special there's no way you can resist... that's just too comforting to her ego. she gets off to how badly you want her, burning your life to warm her up.

lilia: listen. you either die a hero or live long enough to develop some immoral cravings. unfortunately, hers aren't limited to food. if you ever wish to blame somebody for the morbid interest she exhibits for those it's socially unacceptable for her to pursue, blame the terrible love triangle of her youth. now she's way too into women younger than her and much more tied down than her. she isn't above actively ruining a marriage to get a caring, loving human mother figure for her baby, but there's something to young widows that really tickles her fancy. might have something to do with all the women she's widowed throughout her military career, ay? ultimately, what i'm trying to say is that you shouldn't stand near open windows deep in the night, tearful and heartbroken in your mourning, for you never know who's lurking outside and what it is they feed on.

azul: has the sort of hatred for your partner that feels personal despite not being such. regardless of who your loved one is, their individuality, aside from their relation to you, upsets her deeply. if they are like her somewhat, intelligent and smooth, she is frustrated by you choosing somebody who is clearly an inferior variation on what you so obviously yearn for (her). if they are unlike her, especially unlike her in that unpleasant, reminiscent-of-her-bullies way, sociable and popular, sporty and universally attractive, she is angered by them for, once again, taking everything away from her. when she wins over somebody like her, she is smug for having proven her excellence; when she wins over somebody unlike her, she's overjoyed at having beaten those naturally fortunate — look who's at the top of the food chain now. though she would prefer you single, providing that you aren't, she'll turn making you single into an impressively insufferable ego trip.

inappropriately interested in your relationship

rollo: at the top of the list purely because of the daily sermons you are forced to listen to. it devastates her how clearly you are infatuated with somebody who could never love as purely, as genuinely as you need to be loved. how unworthy they are of you, corrupting your beautiful, clean soul with their sinful touches and dirty ideas, trampling all over your potential for the holy life. how bad you are at recognizing those two things, how susceptible to manipulation, how feeble, how naive. you are in danger, and, deaf to her words, you don't even know it. you are letting your flesh be taken by the devil, your soul dragged down into the torturous flames of hellfire, and your only response to this is to decline her help, politely yet firmly. she pities you. not for long, thankfully: she feels it her duty to guide back those who are lost, and of all the lambs, you are her most cherished one. she'll drag you back to the herd. goodness will triumph, in the end.

skully: the problem isn't that she is jealous. the problem is that she simply cannot comprehend you not ending up together. she isn't trying to be malicious; however, when you know what the ending is, it's difficult to be tactful about the character meant to disappear in chapter two. it's difficult to pretend it's not grating, their belief that they understand you, that they can be the one for you. it's difficult to care about what you have to say to her on the matter, especially when it is a word of disagreement or a plea to let the one slowing down your happy ending go. she isn't mean. she simply has no grasp on what it is and isn't normal to do in the name of love, and she loves you. perhaps, all along, that has been the real problem.

rook: rather impolitely interested in watching you two fuck. should she succeed in getting an invite, she makes comments all the way through, too, which does not help to endear you to the idea of repeating the experience. refuses to take off as much as a glove, herself, should you ask to touch her back. overall, pretty traumatizing.

vil: is extremely objective. she is, truly. and what she can tell from her superior, objective perspective is that you are settling. you are taking something accessible over striving for something you deserve. you are letting your primal urges speak over your mind, which she knows you have—she has an eye for those things. she attempts to position her criticism as some friendly help: surely, somebody has to tell you the truth? it is, however, pretty much impossible to believe in the loving best friend character she is playing when so much of that criticism is so violently invasive. most people, after all, wouldn't ask, disdainfully, in the middle of touching up their foundation between breaks, whether "you've ever even cum with them". they wouldn't pose this as a polite inquiry after your partner's stamina. most people, that is.
