THE LOTORY

Keith: I had a blue slushie.

LOTOR SEEING ACXA’S SAME FIGHTING SPIRIT AND FIERCE LOYALTY IN KEITH RIGHT AWAY

LOTOR SEEING “SHIRO” TRUST KEITH TO PILOT THROUGH A TOUGH MISSION AND IMMEDIATELY THINKING BACK TO HOW ACXA WAS ALWAYS HIS SECOND IN COMMAND

LOTOR ACTIVELY DISTANCING HIMSELF FROM KEITH WHENEVER THE RESEMBLANCE BECOMES TOO PAINFULLY NOSTALGIC

LOTOR ACCIDENTALLY CALLING KEITH ACXA ONCE AND THEN SHUTTING DOWN WHEN EVERYONE ASKS WHO THAT IS AND JUST LEAVING THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY 

Lotor seeing the rift between Keith and Kuron worsen and thinking of Acxa and wondering why he never saw the warning signs

lotor: i want to speak to the black paladin

shiro: that’s me

lotor: so you were the one hunting me down?

hunk: no, that was keith

lotor [to allura]: you are the black paladin?

allura: i am the blue paladin

lotor: then who -

keith: i’m the one you’re looking for

lotor: you’re not even wearing a paladin armour!

keith: that’s because i’m not a paladin

lotor:

The way that Keith rubs his fingers together is a self defense mechanism of comforting oneself. And then when he hides his eyes is another tactic people use who are uncomfortable with others seeing their tears. The fact he’s doing this still while in front of a camera is concerning. He truly isn’t finding comfort in anyone right now and it makes me worry on how dissociative he is currently.
