Kai ramblings,
When I sometimes mention Kai doesn’t care about people aside from those they’re already close to, it’s… weird?
Because, it’s true. In the sense of, if people got physically hurt by something (whether or not it was something they did or not), but someone they care about weren’t, they— pretty much won’t really give a damn about the ones that got hurt. At least no one important got hurt.
But they would be a little more affected if seeing whoever they were close to was upset by it. Be it in general, or because whoever got hurt the person was close to but Kai wasn’t.
There’s also the fact that for a good while, first meeting someone on the island… usually ended up in Kai seeking amusement from them via messing with them/being a gd creep.
though if people are persistent(…or are stuck there) and try to ease up to them, it’s possible to break through that, since they can eventually start getting attachments and caring–
It goes about a little easier if Rin, or someone they’re close to, is already cool with the person though. They generally won’t creep/mess with the person then, too.
Also, it does entirely depend on how the person is. Also if people call them out on it.
As it is though, I suppose in more recent times they would likely be– trying to work on that too. The spring ball, for instance, was a chance for them to actually go out and be social and keep themself on check, without Rin being around– and that seemed to of gone well enough, too.
And as it is, I think this all probably wasn’t as bad pre-BR, but post-BR, especially directly after, it became More of a thing (especially with corruption, and also that corruption causing glitch mode to leak in and blend a little more in general)
Honestly, this all would probably go about as a progression easier if I could actually… be consistent………….. in updates…………… but oh well. Just something to consider if I ever actually try to clean things up as an actual story or something, I suppose. (as it is right now there’s– not actually any story set, just ideas to get out there and them answering questions asdfgfd)
