CLOSEUPS UNDER CUT AGAIN

Vega wants to be taken seriously because they have high beliefs in their ability to uncover truths most other people can't. She knows how to expose shady people and organizations to give the public the knowledge they deserve, but knowing how to do that won't get her very far if everyone keeps dismissing her as paranoid. He still relishes in the attention he got from being a crime's sole witness because it was most likely the only time he was ever listened to on such a massive scale, and it made him feel useful and fulfilled enough to believe it's his purpose despite his lack of success ever since. This also influences their strategy early on in the game. They automatically appoint themself as their group's leader because if they aren't either the center of attention or in control, they aren't going to be heard.

Protag wants to be taken seriously because he won't feel secure or accepted otherwise. He had an upbringing in which he wasn't allowed to be who he was without maltreatment from his parents being a direct consequence, but he attempted to overcome that by exploring his own interests anyway and even basing his career off them. He eventually cracked under the pressure of (perceived?) judgement though, and went back to a mindset of having to be and do certain things for the sake of being accepted, just like he had to back when he was living with his parents.

I know this is probably a stupid question, I have a few guesses but they would make different fanfics and idk which one you want so yeah

Finally deciding to start working on that fanfic😭

Have a nice day!

vega x protag!! I love them
