## Semayi

### Svjetlo Scuro

As Josie was his heir, he was hopeful for her future. He detested Srijan for his evident lack of respect for the boundaries Svjetlo had set between life and death. He viewed Srijan as nothing more than a puppeteer, and he wanted to prevent Josie from becoming his next vessel. He strongly discouraged their relationship and attempted to subtly separate them. Although upon realizing that Srijan made her happy, he resigned and settled for watching them from afar, ready to step in as soon as it seemed as though he would lead her to harm.

### Vilhelm Roka

Vyn loves Josie dearly and believes that at her core, she is an extremely kind and considerate person. He believes that the only reason she's acting in such a way because of Srijan's influence. He's worried about her, and feels powerless that he was unable to dissuade her from her current path and guide her down a better one. Vyn and Srijan have a horrible relationship. Originally, Srijan intended to keep Vyn at an arm's length, though as he continued to butt into their relationship, Srijan grew increasingly frustrated with him. Vyn actively attempted to separate the two and turn them against one another many times, though each time he only succeeded in pushing them closer. The sight of the two together fills Vyn with both disgust, relief, and irritation. He feels that they are a product of his failure as an older brother, his failure to guide his little sister down a better path.

### Jessie Roka

Josie and Jessie knew each other before Srijan ever entered the picture, and Jessie considered her a friend. As such, Jessie genuinely believes Josie is a good person... but Srijan is not. She firmly believes Srijan has manipulated Josie into falling for him, much like he nearly did with her. Unfortunately, Josie seems set in her ways, and Jessie is too scared to approach her about the topic. She hopes that Josie will come to realize he's a terrible influence for her, but until then she does what she can to stay out of their way.

### Evasis Agharna

Evasis and Srijan got off to a good start, and Josie and Evasis were previously good friends. He would often spend time with them and converse with Srijan when both of them were free. However, following Srijan's betrayal of Evasis and Evasis' attack on Josie, his relationship with the couple soured past repair. He believes that Srijan is a terrible influence, but he also believes that Josie is cut from the same cloth. He knows that manipulation is entirely possible, but as the god of love he is able to gauge people's affection levels toward one another. And all he sees between them is an impossibly strong affection that remains unhindered by the people around them. Evasis does not trust Josie, and believes that even without Srijan, she would have turned down the same path.

## Riyon

### Dial Osveta/Matoya

The twins find the relationship favorable, and are happy for their friend. Dial sees the two together and finds it amusing how similar yet different they are. He looks down on Josie for previously mingling with mortals, but due to Srijan's defense, he views her in a more positive light, and believes that there is no one better fit for Srijan than Josie. Matoya shares the sentiment, and admires the seemingly indestructible relationship they have.

## Other

### Marnina Astraea

Marnina and Josie were friends for years before Srijan came. At the beginning, she was hesitant about Josie and Srijan's relationship, especially since Josie had previously despised the man. She trusted her friend to know what her boundaries were and to keep herself safe, though ultimately regrets not doing more. She feels as though she's lost her friendship to Srijan--just another thing she hates the arrogant god for.
