me: shipping is just for funsies so why not imagine Varuna and Casra kissing it's hot lmao

also me: not only do they have a similar detached, calm demeanor and a "prepare for the worst" approach to problem solving, they've both spent most of their lives as servants to uncaring masters, knowing that inevitably, they will be killed in order to further the goals of said masters. in response to this cruel fate they dedicate themselves to ideals rather than people: Casra places the existence of ARKS above his own and Varuna embraces his sacrifice as the ultimate expression of devotion. this means that they would understand each other's trauma in a way that few others would be capable of. moreover, their reserved and perceptive personalities suggests they would quickly develop a strong rapport. indeed one of the great tragedies of Phantasy Star Online 2 is that these two characters never met, cursing me to imagine an endless amount of scenarios in which this calamitous mistake is addressed,
