Their initial threads were so funny, because it was just so obvious she would not like him. She's a tough girl who expects the worst and he's just the softest soft boy imaginable. But he could tell she was very afraid in their first thread, and so hilariously offered to stay with her to protect her, which got them off on the wrong foot. For him, that was kind of a big deal - he doesn't think of himself as the type of person who is able to protect others or capable of fighting, but he's been learning to recognize that in himself. So it kind of took some courage to express that outloud except he didn't know he was nerfed at the time and couldn't do shit.
Anyway, they just were very different people and he felt so nervous every time they interacted like she might yell at him or something. Even though she was never mean to him.
He remained kind of intimidated by Clem until Week 4 when they memshared and his impression did a 180. He got to see the more gentle side of her that was dealing with really difficult things and was doing her best to protect a little kid. That's the kind of thing he really responds to - he knows he's kind of soft and useless and not very reliable, but the people he admires most are people who are both kind and also the kind of person others can count on and depend on in tough situations. So seeing that side of him made him really like her a lot. And she also got a little clarity from his mems on why he is the way he is.
So after that, he just really fucking liked her. If she'd shot Claude when he boo'd them he would've been, like, valid. It's Clem, so, valid. And then it turned out she was a bunny, too. Mikuru had told him, when he asked if the bunnies are all nice (since so far it was Ochako, Hilda, him and Alphonse) that they were, but some might not seem like it right away. So when he met Clem as a bunny he was like "oh!" because that was his exact journey with her.
And then. . . murder. Despite being a bitch who's not down with murder at all, he felt really grateful to both Clem and Hilda? His view of bunny murder the whole time was like, we do have to do this, and it's painful for all of us, but the people who are suffering most are Clem and Hilda and they're suffering so we don't have to. Which is probably fairly accurate! He knew he wasn't capable of doing something like that, and as the week went on he realized more and more he wasn't even capable of being adjacent to it. So it was like - yet another situation where Clem is the one who is brave and reliable and protects others. In the graveyard, he insisted to Elsa that if she's angry with either of them she needs to be equally angry with him.
At endgame, he got to see a little more of a vulnerable side to her and her sadness over losing three buns, and I feel like post-game for them will be about that continuing. He'll start being able to see the vulnerable sides to her, and (especially after he goes home and finishes Season 2) she'll start seeing the less baby side of him and they can become real friends and get fast food together in his fairly gentle world.
