Though initially skeptical of Egon, Beatrice has accepted him into her harem as one of her favourite boys. She loves him, especially after he willingly committed arson for Spencer (much to Spencer's horror). She likes to brush Egon's hair and draw him weird pictures on napkins.

Shep is easily Trance's favourite inkling and the android has imprinted on him heavily. They met in therapy after the war, and were assigned to each other. Trance fell in love with Shep which was reciprocated. He loves how little Shep is and often picks the inkling up to cuddle and carry around.

If you asked Camille why he hates Penny, he wouldn't be able to come up with a concrete answer.

He was always interested in Remy despite the fact that he didn't know that they had previously been intimate, eventually initiating a relationship with the inkling. Dimitri didn't want to seem too pushy but was also very quick to propose.
Beatrice is Remy's older sister and was always cruel to Remy as they grew up. She has always criticised Remy's appearance, weight, and fashion sense, even going so far as to mention these things to Remy's fiancee. She has never referred to Remy by her chosen name, instead calling her Eudora. Nowadays their relationship is very strained and they don't interact where they don't have to.

Initially meeting in an online chatroom, Kei was catfished by Gumi and quickly fell in love with the other inkling. Kei was aware that Gumi was manipulating him into doing things, but enjoyed that aspect of their relationship and the monetary rewards that came with it.

Kei doesn't care that Gumi isn't the person he said he was online, thinking that the actual Tsugumi is significantly better. He is obsessed with Gumi and everything revolving around Gumi. Kei always follows Tsugumi around, sitting at his feet when Gumi is on the computer or trying to sleep on the floor in Gumi's bedroom. He believes that he is below Tsugumi and doesn't deserve the luxury of his affection. He will do anything that Tsugumi asks, including killing people and appeasing Gumi's religious fascinations.
AU: Tsuki is Tsugumi's older twin sister. The pair are inseparable after enduring many hardships in their childhood, eventually conspiring together to murder their parents. They are both quite protective of one another, and Tsuki gets stressed if Gumi is away for too long.
