Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Links
It's a darn good thing Aleksandr has near infinite patience. He's put up with all of the Hetero jokes, with the jeering and teasing. It's building, but like with everything he buries his reactions and emotions within him rather than lash out. It has only come to a head once, when Nikolai unknowingly overstepped the line on the anniversary of Katya and Masha's deaths. But other than that, he keeps himself entirely neutral faced around his peer.
"Suck my toes, you filthy hetero!" Most of the time it's just Nikolai cracking offensive 'hetero' jokes on Sasha just to see if he would finally react violently to one or two of them at least. Nikolai is highly aware of Sasha's true intentions, but if Sasha won't throw any punches, he will not either. He and Sasha have a mutual understanding about having something they love so much be taken away from them, and this shows that Nikolai is at least capable of some bit of empathy. However, he is very well aware that Sasha bears a bit of hard feelings towards him for having his little special someone still alive, while Sasha has no one.
Grateful at least, in a way, for someone who is also "normal" among the rats, Aleksandr is happy to say that he does somewhat get along with Maxim. It's rare they actually get chance to speak - since Maxim is in Fyodor's inner circle, but when they do they can at least hold conversation. Aleksandr also has strong suspicions Maxim considers them the "straights" in the rats, which he internally cringes over. He can see as well as the rest of them that there's no unbent bone in that man's body.
Rikyu never really cared so much about Sasha joining the Agency since the Rats were in shambles. If he didn't mean to cause harm then they're cool, welcome aboard!!! They can both English, Rikyu gets in Sasha's face cause HEYYY WHAT BRINGS YOU HEREEEE and honestly Sasha sorry for your 7ams being Rikyu being a diva. He's super cool with Sasha with Yosano ngl, he just encourages Ranpo to "break Sasha's face" cause he knows he probably can't HAHA
Probably says "Sasha" with flourish and flair, like the diva bitch he is
