Equinox's Links
Though Equinox very much still has a constant urge to punch the irritating bat pony in the face, Flicker has slowly wormed her way into a soft spot in her heart, though she'd never admit it. She's wary and concerned about making a genuine friend, after how she destroyed past friendships.
After witnessing her harsh attitude, Flicker kept trying to make Equinox open up and figure out what her deal was. She was sure that with enough kindness and enthusiasm, the other pony would be her friend, but perhaps could've been a bit more respectful of Equinox's feelings in the process, not that she had any bad intentions.
Equinox doesn't know that Crystal Vision, her former roommate that she sorely misses and secretly was her first crush, is the same pony as Meticulous Vision, the cute up-and-coming fashion editor that she saw Metro interviewing. How would she even react if she found out? Probably stop deadnaming him in her head, for one.
Equinox was his roommate when they both went to school together, and were the oldest blank flanks they knew. He felt betrayed when she faked her cutie mark, but didn't intend to scare her off, and felt guilty and heartbroken when she left.
Despite so, when they crossed paths again, he chose not to reveal himself. She didn't recognise him, as they only knew each other before he realised he was trans, whereas he still recognised her despite her style change due to her fake cutie mark.
