Betelgeuse is definitely an interesting case. Given Laurel's tendency to be drawn towards misfortune and ill omen, Juice's....dramatic first impression felt, to Laurel, 'very inline to what I'm used to.' And yet, as Laurel comes to find that their reason for being here is likely the cafe, and not just Betelguese, they've begun to wonder -- are they supposed to lead Betelguese away from this? Or will that misfortune follow him? For now, maybe it's for the best to have him in Laurel's sight...
Avalon views Moss as something like a god but not quite - they haven't determined if they are divine or cursed or both (it's probably both, they would think). They view their friendship as something scared, and is always happy to help Moss trim their bonsai to avoid it from becoming too overgrown.
Dahlia is intrigued by Sunny Day, who is quite different than the impression she got of humans from reading the books left behind in the tower. Sunny's house is a 'residence' of hers... but being as independent as she is, Dahlia doesn't stick to one place very often, so she doesn't spend too much time there.
She recognizes Sunny Day's obsession with Lety, which she finds curious--slimes don't tend to form attachments that strong, so it's unfamiliar to her. She doesn't feel any jealousy about the matter.
She wonders what it's like to feel attached to someone in that way.
Claudé is nice to Yōko, so Yōko likes him! She's a little strange herself, so she doesn't really see him as odd the way most do. She enjoyed being introduced to Love Live.
She doesn't know that Ivory has shown him his Seraph form, so she is still pretending to be a human around him.
Marimo is one of the few (read, many) who can get under Warden's skin, and yet, despite it all? Warden still manages to find them entertaining, and puts their trust in them when DRcade itself threatened to destroy the real world's infrastructure.
This trust still rings true several years later - even if Marimo is still a bit of a thorn in his side at times.
While they at first keep Claude at a slight distance to avoid him discovering their secret, Ivory, as per the usual, ends up doing the exact opposite. One mishap after another results in nights quietly explaining more and more about what they are -- and after Claude is quick to defend Ivory despite their monstrous appearance, they've come to trust Claude very much. This trust to confide in one another extends further when Claude learns of the rumored 'death' of Sunny -- in an effort to sympathize with him, Claude becomes one of the few to learn that, a few years back, Ivory had lost someone they cared about, too.
When Ivory isn't crashing Claude's place to patch up their wounds and recover as a whole, Ivory visits Claude to test the watches he's been crafting, curious about the sorts of things they can pull off.
Bell has an overall positive outlook on Claude, though due to being born only for a short time, Bell's impression of him may change as they develop.
Ono is interested by Claudé. He acts so aloof, he has to be hiding something right? He likes to rag on the man's Love Live addiction, but still watches the man play with interest. The kid really is curious about who he's looking for in the Chasms.
(sunny voice) that's my slime gf
Jumping in the chasms has been all fun and games, but when you gain a girlfriend through the process; that's something you ought to hang onto. Luckily for Sunny, she's not too bad at dealing with relationships. Unluckily for her, the mysterious slime person has disappeared on her. Still grieving over this chain of events, Sunny now intends to breed and grow slimes to see if she can create Lety anew. Or, at least, find a path that helps her reunite with her again...
Lety found Sunny interesting, in a way. She doesn't really understand why Sunny latched onto her--but being protective of those like her by nature, when Sunny defected and joined her side, Lety was forced to consider her one of her own. In her final moments, she may have regretted not being able to win for her; after all, she's sure Sunny will experience consequences for trying to rebel against her own kind and failing.
Ponzu's initial thought about Sunny was incredible concern. Why the hell was someone so terrified of the chasms heading there? Concern turns into disbelief when he sees Sunny's strong potential as a persona user -- but after they felled the boss of that mission, Ponzu curiously wondered where she'd go from there.
The next he hears of Sunny is through rumors. Betraying the party? Working with Lety? And a desire to find despair, to top it off...this was nothing like the meek girl he meet awhile back. His worries outweigh his anger, as he collects more information.
After the fall of Lety, Ponzu finally meets Sunny once more, and learns that she has been raising slimes -- the labeled enemy of humanity -- with the idealized goal of bringing Lety back. Ponzu's quick to realize, however, that when Sunny pits these young slimes against everyone...Sunny doesn't actually want this battle to happen.
For the sake of the slimes, the other crew members, and Sunny herself, Ponzu pulls Sunny away from her dangerous ideals and grounds her -- makes her aware she has something she cares for, something that she shouldn't sacrifice. And when Sunny recognizes that, Ponzu is grateful.
After all of these events, Ponzu's viewpoint of Sunny is overall positive. Despite the things that she's done, he sees the good in what she's doing in the now. With hope, he believes, maybe she can encourage everyone that not all the slimes are bad -- she's convinced Ponzu, at the least.
