I want Swindler to be the catalyst for Cutthroat’s character development.
What I mean when I say this is that I want Cutthroat to gradually come to love Swindler for her personality and abilities, not just because she’s got the color pink all over her. Right now, Cutthroat sees Swindler and the other Akudama as future kills, so it would be great if he learnt to see the others as people and comrades after doing the same for Swindler.
Basically, I want Cutthroat to mature, to the point that he realizes his crush on Swindler is just him projecting his fascination of the color pink onto her, and once he’s come to see her as more than just that, Cutthroat realizes he only has platonic affections for Swindler. Thus, he will stop requesting that she be his lover but instead (I hope) his big sister, to which Swindler would remark is ridiculous because he’s nearly ten years older than her (this relationship change is obviously for comedic effect) but she will sort of comply because I expect that by that point she will become comfortable enough with Cutthroat to sincerely care and show concern for him.
