★ Sumatra's Links
"Don't get in my way. You stay there."
Being forced to work together after almost killing each other per his captain's orders, Sumatra dreaded the idea of working with a hollow such as Nahm. But slowly but surely, Sumatra ended up relying on Nahm for many things. Whether it was for a mission, finding connections or simply having Nahm as a shoulder to cry on. There was a feeling of comfort whenever he was around Nahm. His feelings slowly turn into more as they continue to journey together for each other's goals.
"Nahhh,, I'm following you. Per captain's orders."
Ever since their first meeting, Nahm has always had an interest in Sumatra. He enjoys teasing and making fun of the human in a lighthearted way as the human got pissed at him. However despite their "hatred" towards each other, Nahm got attached to Sumatra. This forming feeling of attachment was not what Nahm wanted at all, but he decided to embrace it instead of push it away. This merely strengthened their bond and Nahm was happy when Sumatra came to him for problems.
"Hi! :)"
Sumatra didn't find himself super interested in Rutna until she approached him on random times. It started with a few "hi"s and text messages with cat photos but slowly he found himself interacting with her daily. It can sometimes be a little overwhelming how hyper Rutna can be to him, but he enjoyed her company a lot to the point he would return the same energy back. It was very foreign to him but Rutna definitely taught him that it's okay to show yourself off and be the center of a crowd.
"HAIII!!!! :3"
Despite being a later member of the IHH and their opposite personalities, Sumatra quickly became a bestie to Rutna. She always found herself making jokes to him and getting Sumatra's opinions on stupid things. Even if Sumatra didn't laugh or was confused, he never questioned Rutna's behaviour which made her really happy! She's always there to assist Sumatra and whatever team he's working with for the day as a tracker to lighten up his day, even a little.
"You're one of the first I'd call."
Sumatra considers Decha as one of his first friends he made outside of the institute. One he can have fun with without it turning work related. It was something he really needed as a kid and despite their maturity differences at the time, Sumatra always enjoyed his time with the younger. He never knew how to be a kid until he become friends with Decha. Even as adults, they find themselves doing kiddish or immature things but Sumatra has always found it fun even if he doesn't express it well.
"Y'know you can always rely on me, yeah?"
Decha met Sumatra when he was 14. He would sometimes see Sumatra on his missions and the younger couldn't help but admire him from afar. Despite a slight age difference and life differences at the time, he managed to befriend Sumatra and they found themselves sneaking away to meet each other sometimes. Decha joining the IHH just strengthened their bond as they could relate to each other through their similar traumas. Decha tries his best to be there for Sumatra and support him even if the latter becomes distant from time to time.
