Koeia Eridanus/Relationships

Overview ⬩ Gallery ⬩ **Relationships** ⬩ Synopsis

Initially, both Asmundr and Ko did not see eye to eye on certain things especially during the aftermath of combative situations as Ko would often try and defy the other man's words to spite him. It wasn't until leaving Calladocia did he start regretting his past actions towards Asmundr; However, Ko (Kosyl at the time) only wanted to get on his good side to remove a part of the eyeing guilt and disappointment. His want to not only dissipate the baggage and being on the better end of the other's gaze made him desperate that it even lead to his own death.

Once reaching Neridan and after retrieving the bullet from his skull, Ko obvious change in personality made him less impulsive and vindictive to others. With the difference in the Changeling, Ko and Asmundr were to able to develop a more sibling type relationship. Such as Ko often poking Asmundr when he's busy cooking or Asmundr worrying about Ko's diet and lack of sleep. Despite the fresh change in each other's friendship, Ko or rather Koeia, still feels guilty and regrets what he's done before, and he hopes to that spending more time with *"Muun"* will hopefully make up for his past actions.

### **Cypress**

**He calls Cypress, *Cy*.**

From what Koeia has noticed, both himself and Cypress share some similarities with each other such as both having an immense curiosity to things they've never seen before, and are missing a huge portion of their history that they're not sure is true or not. Whether in memory or in physical history, they both wish to know who they are and where they've both come from, hoping to find family that could help put the pieces together. Though while their interactions are few and far in-between in game, Ko has grown to care about Cypress as a younger Brother and desperately hopes that things will easier for him, wishing that he can help in any way. He does appreciate the kindness and vulnerability that *"Cy"* displays in front of familiar audiences, but he worries greatly about the growing and seething anger that Cypress has been showcasing lately.

### **Grinn**

**He seems to say his name more than the others.**

From the beginning, Ko and Grinn have been able to get along pretty quick and well with only minor kerfuffle between the two. Though originally, Ko only used Grinn as a means to protect himself from the newfound dangers of Fracture or to have him do the dirty work for him such stealing or murder; However, through the occasional stab, a shot to the arm, or fun insults to one another, Ko has started to see Grinn as a trusted friend. The friendship before Neridan consisted of butting heads and fighting over wanting to kill an individual, and at times Ko would be somewhat jealous of others that Grinn interacts with such as Ruenya or Princeton, and would try desperately to hide that emotion through other thoughts and activities.

However, when Grinn stabbed Ko to death in the snowy mountains in Episode 12, Ko started to develop a fear toward Grinn and knives in general. He felt embarrassed and confused at the new emotion he's gain toward a trusted friend, and drowned himself in alcohol despite the dangers of drinking at high altitude mixed with frosty weather. After another near death experience with alcohol poisoning, Ko decided to forgive him as he weighed the act vs intentions from his first death thus, despite his fear and anxiety toward being touched, allowed Grinn to be the first person to actually touch Ko without having the other panic.

As Ko continued to travel with Grinn, he realized a few things about his relationship with and toward the other. Firstly, Grinn saw Ko as Ko, no matter the history, the face, or actions he makes; Ko was and still is Ko, and while he doesn't say it out loud he's grateful that someone saw him for him despite all the faces he's made. Through this gratefulness and trust, grew a warm fondness toward the Gnoll raised Halfing, and only when Grinn disappeared for a week and Ko believing on the prospect that the other would never come back, did he realize that he liked Grinn more than just a friend.

Currently, Ko and Grinn have gotten intimately close during their time in Neridan.

As of Episode 22, Ko and Grinn are now in a relationship.

### **Milly**

**He calls Milly, *Mimi*.**

From the moment Milly landed herself into the world of Fracture, Ko did not want anything to do with her other than getting answers for his questions as she provided a new well of information for him. And despite the questionable beginning of being almost drowned, Milly stuck around with the group much to Ko's awkwardness.

All through their journey together, Ko questions as to how Milly can stand being in such a disheveled group when there were plenty of opportunities for her to leave or even go home. Often did he do things to make her question her stay such as his irrational decisions making or his questionable actions. In the end, Ko decided he was being embarrassing and cruel in trying to test Milly's position in the group, in fact, Ko started to believe the group (he, Asmundr, Cypress, and Grinn) were starting to get somewhere in their quest to finding their way home because of her. However, there were times where Ko disliked Milly for how she treated Grinn and how often she'd do things without considering the feelings of those she uses her magic on, such extracting a memory from Ko despite him not agreeing to his memories being tampered with again.

As time went on, Milly grew to become a valued friend and a huge curiosity to Ko. From the world she comes from down to the foreign words that she often mumbles, Ko's curiosity for her perspective and history is one that pre-occupies any boring situation he's in. Even inspiring him to get back into his tinkering habits and allowing his creative freedom in making something become a large portion to his new outlook on life. With their stay in Neridan, Koeia would often go to *"Mimi"* for advice, her help making his confidence grow and allowing himself to be an individual rather than someone who has to prove themselves.

He hopes that he can help Milly in the same way she's helped him.
