THE FORBIDDEN ANGE LORE.

Gosh okay, as was on Ange's CR chart, Ange actually pinned Bucky for being an easy scapegoat early on--a little after he had that really bad week where he didn't want anyone to touch him and fended Ange off with his shield. It was at that point that Ange thought "this man will be very easily thrown under the bus the minute everyone fails to solve a murder, because people don't know how to cope with that sort of person". And considering they nearly failed to solve the very first tutorial murder, Ange did not have high hopes for this group to solve anything.

Anyway, that isn't to say that Ange disliked him! Rather, she saw a certain likeness in him that was familiar to her. He came across as a man who had seen too much and been through too much and yet still continued to persevere. Ange found a certain familiarity to it; people in their line of work tend to end up that way. But she has a rule to not get attached to people while undercover and especially not people that she thought were going to have a rough time here.

Then he was a Wolf! She didn't actually mind that either. She thought that Bucky brought good balance to the Wolves; Lup and Yona were too cheerful, Rufus was taciturn, and Bucky was a good balance. Then he was immediately scapegoated! She wasn't pleased with it, and Ange spite-voted so that she wouldn't vote for Bucky, but she didn't dare break her cover to really strongly argue against it. Besides, by this point she'd already killed two people (sweats) so she knew the Wolves would be fine. He'd come back, so she wasn't too torn up about it. She did think he received a raw deal, though, and this was the point where she really decided that she couldn't trust this group--they spent too much time moralizing, and yet were totally willing to throw Bucky to the wolves. It was something she thought about a lot from that point onwards.

Anyway, talking to Bucky was a pleasant surprise post-reveal and post-the dead coming back, honestly. That's when Ange started to think that she could have enjoyed his company properly. After all, they understood similar things, were in similar lines of work, and the only thing Bucky had to say about her entire cover was simply that she did a good job. Ange appreciates that sort of straightforward approach! But she also knows that he understands that the reason they didn't get to have more than just a few chats was because as a spy, she had to maintain her cover, and that that's enough.

So overall, in the end, she liked him much more than she expected to! But he's a like-minded soul in a group of shounens and protagonists, so they had more to click over than most. His fate is one she still thinks on as something she thinks they should have been able to prevent, and one that was brutally unfair--so in truth, she's a little glad that he was able to come back. Definitely one of the few people she'd be interested in talking to again someday.
