Alex sob. She was just so kind to him. She was the first person to really be nice to him here and help him out, and he just calmly saw her that way for the rest of the game - just a nice, wonderful mom-type who was easy to rely on. He never really came to her to talk deeply about his feelings, and I'm afraid I won't have as much to say about their CR because it wasn't really complicated to him. He was just a kid in a really overwhelming situation and she was someone who made him feel safe.

One of my favorite moments was them at the truth or dare party. For a variety of reasons that party really just hit him horribly in the insecurities. I mentioned the Ochako confessing about Claude thing, but also he generally has pretty deep insecurities about situations where everyone is laughing together and having fun. That's just not a type of social interaction he can participate in or understand, because his psychic emotional repression makes him unable to laugh, and he's too sensitive to understand why embarrassing others is fun. But whenever anyone tried to give him a gentle dare, it also hurt, because it reminded him he doesn't fit in. On top of that it was especially horrible because he knew Elsa and others would die, and everyone was pretending it wasn't happening. He understood it was just people's way of taking their minds off a horrible situation, but he couldn't relate to that and it made him feel pretty alone.

I just mention all those sadboy feelings because he definitely had a moment where he just felt trapped there and wanted to be allowed to leave, and he confided in Alex and let her give him an easy dare he could just accomplish and bolt. He basically looked around the room for a person he knew would be kind and not make him feel embarrassed and who he could trust to rescue him and that was Alex. So he felt extremely endeared to her after that.

She helped him in much more serious situations too! She was really kind to him when he struggled week 3, and she was one of the people who was nicest to him after Kano's execution. But that dumb one that was more dumb teenager feelings than anything stuck out.
