Oskar's Links
[ NEPHEW] Oskar generally looks up to Audemus as a proxy father-figure, increasingly so as he grows older. He wants a better, happier life for his uncle. Even in the face of Audemus' dismissive, distant demeanor, he fundamentally understands that his uncle's capacity for emotional regulation leaves something to be desired. He takes their stilted conversations in stride, and cherishes those rare moments he can get the man to let his guard down even a little.
[ UNCLE ] Audemus appears distant and aloof but quietly cares a great deal about Oskar. Over the past 6 or so years, he has slowly, tentatively grown into the role of a guardian figure. It's hard for Audemus to acknowledge and express his own emotions, and so his feelings rarely come out in conversation. But the fact that Audemus is even willing to occasionally indulge Oskar in idle chit-chat is already a big step forward.
[ NEPHEW ] From Kai's initial hostilities in response to the Emilios' taking a ward, Oskar quickly saw the type of man his father's brother really was. Oskar sees Kai as manipulative and unfeeling and isn't afraid to call him out on it.
[ UNCLE ] Kai sees Oskar as someone who is too soft and emotional; yet at the same time Oskar is perhaps the one person he really can't control. Because of this, Kai tends to ignore or disregard Oskar entirely.
[ SIBLING ] Out of Oskar's 9 siblings, Atalie is the one he has always been closest to—in age, and just in general. The two were near inseparable growing up, and that fact remains as Atalie ran away from home to join Oskar in Theracarcus. Unfortunately, Atalie can be over-bearing, at times sticking her nose where it doesn't belong in terms of Oskar's personal life.
[ SISTER ] Atalie sees Oskar as an example of the best of us—a person who has good in their heart and makes the world a better place simply by being in it. She wants to preserve this good at him at all costs... even if that means hiding the truth from him.
