So I think one neat thing about Kazuki's CR is that there is suddenly this pretty unique bond that Hikaru doooooes not have in Aather and that is bonding through aather experiences in general! LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN. A lot of his feelings of being weak or whatever or his general attitudes of friendship, that really stems from his self and his development from back home. But for Kazuki, they had a recent bond over something that was a development from aather (Hikaru and Kazuki not being able to touch). SO IN THAT WAY, Kazuki sort of fits into this weird, neat little niche of friendship that no one else filled because it sort of proves that aather HAS had an effect on Hikaru so even if he gets his memories back, he'll never be the same person. '^' and it's not a bad thing!

TEITO AND NATSUME ARE CUTE AND PURE AND GEEZUS CHRIST HOW DID THIS FRIENDSHIP HAPPEN. Like Natsume liked Amethyst ever since that one game with the secrets and had a lot of respect fo rthem! And Pascal was his close friend. SO OBV HE WANTED TO TALK TO THE OTHERS AND TEITO WAS NEAR THE TOP OF THE LIST. So he really wanted to and because of how that ended, Natsume is a lot more confident with approaching people! Like with Ruby, he wasn't as afraid to say "yes I want to be here" because he has learned from Teito that asking for what you want is not necessarily a bad thing either. :>

BUT YEAH BASICALLY TEITO'S FRIENDSHIP IS SUPER GREAT AND A WONDERFUL SURPRISE AND HAS ADDED TO NATSUME'S CONFIDENCE LEVELS.

REVEEEEEEERSE MEEEEEEEEE
