There are situations where heās fine with not having all the information or being bossed around but those are mostly situations that ties back into trusting Arecia. Missions and being given orders by people that arenāt Mother are examples. After some time Eight starts trusting Kurasame to a limit, which reinforces Eight being alright with those, as well as the other Commanders they work with closely also give a sense of security after proving to not be after stabbing them in the back. (In contrast, Eightās likeliness to follow orders by the Commandant without a hint of dislike is rare. Heāll do it, but heās more on edge when the orders come directly from him and not through a Commander he listens to.)
Things like being tied up or held hostage is the same, as long as he feels heās in control heās not scared. Worried maybe, but never does he feel fear. If itās part of a plan itās alright.
Entering enemy territory alone, however, is not one of those situations. He gets nervous then when he doesnāt have all the cards. Being kept in a place where the person he trusts most of all is the furthest away from him and knowing he can never let his guard down as long as theyāre in enemy territory is what scares him, because it starts stripping him off the control he has. The less factors he has that he can control, the more uneasy he grows.
Aside from that, while itās not a fear loud noises unnerves him. He used to be scared of lightning when he was younger, and while heās not anymore he still doesnāt find those kinda noises pleasant. Heās used to it on the battlefield because of a certain mindset during those, but itās hard to preserve it during daily life, so loud and sudden noises makes him flinch as much as he hates it.
