AInami: Can't talk about her without mentioning Shin's impression of the og Nanami, since that colors his thoughts on them both because he is an extrapolatey boi. He didn't really have CR or much timeline overlap with her but seeing someone try to break up a fight by placing their body in the way of a spear wielded by a pissed off Dito who's already attacked someone else leaves a bit of a mark in terms of character judgement. Apart from that she was nice enough... he definitely sees the Nanamis as the type to set themselves on fire to keep others warm from that, and now that he's actually getting to know them, that'll probably only increasingly bother him. That and seeing the other Nanami have a panic attack have activated his shiny new (i say, like he hasn't been here eight months) big brother mode a little.

It's hard to give separate thoughts on AInami specifically given the twins and swapping notes things going on but he's sharp enough to notice differences, especially with the leg up of rooming with one... mostly that one seems to be sleepier and usually is wearing something slightly different, and seems to be a little more confident if the way she acts in meetings is any indication. I don't know if the fact she's in the Robotics Club has been enough of a hint that she's an AI... but given his experience with such he's probably considered it. Maybe at some point he'll work up to actually asking. How to politely say 'hey do you have lag issues' is another matter.

Ranger: God this CR is a rollercoaster I love it so much. From that initial base of distrust and exchange to something more nebulous... Ranger really has made Shin have to grapple with the idea that someone can be both a victim and hurt others (among other things)... he's not the only example (looking at Shin's own self-loathing here... they really do have the same smell to them) but because he's tied into Asunaro and the death game it adds quite a lot of extra emotions into the mix. Shin's gotten used to Ranger's checking in and things had sort of settled into a comfortable mutual checking up and consultation and occasional group project with Inaba. Neither of them would admit to it, even to themselves, but it's probably fair to call it friendship, which is buck wild and I love it.

It kills me because Ranger's tendency to logic and mutual exchange has been something that Shin's used to interact with him and prop up this CR when he's at his most distrustful; it gives him a handy mental way out. But now with Midori's arrival it's completely backfiring and Shin is like. already withdrawing into self-beratory and hurt 'well what did I expect'. I keep thinking about how whenever he does a retreat from their CR like this it's always with the context of reminding himself that Ranger's a Floormaster.

They really do get each other on a lot of levels and I think this is the first time they've run into such a stark difference. It's definitely tanking Shin's sense of Ranger as someone he can go to about things, which is ow looking at him doing things like wanting Ranger to be the one taking his blood. It'll be interesting to see what happens re: the gift Shin was working on. I do still love that Shin considers Ranger's code and mechanics very cool even with the messiness of everything surrounding that.
