I absolutely adore the parrarels between RotEF Timekeeper and Director Croissant's dynamic and Director Croissant and String Gummy's dynamic!
Director Croissant trusted String Gummy as much as RotEF Timekeeper trusted her. They even portray this trust the same way. Timekeeper entrusted Croissant (and only Croissant) with the key that unlocks the Director's office. Director Croissant did the same with SG.
Director Croissant and SG also both tried to keep their composure and be there for others after RotEF and D Croissant died, keeping their grief to themselves as much as possible. While still trying to hold onto the little things they can of the ones they lost (D Croissant's frantic search of RotEF that only ended after she died and SG picking up on D Croissant's hobbies).
