while it didn't end up saving his life, florence did find himself genuinely liking [tbn], as he was the least annoying person he'd interacted with in these circumstances. however, by the time he made up his mind about sparing him, it was too late; the emotional fallout caused him to isolate himself even further.
[tbn] finds it easy to click with people as long as they accept his general not-knowing-what-business-is-ness, which is why he was fast friends with florence. he appreciated his good cheer and general willingness to hang out with him, who doesn't really know many people in the circles he runs in now yet.
wormwood spends a decent amount of time trying to convince euphrates to loosen up a little; he's managed to convince him to get drunk with him a couple times, but euphrates promises it's the last every time. he's not sure why he's so set on bonding with him, but he doesn't mind the desire.
while euphrates is personally opposed to basically everything wormwood stands for- reckless hedonism, happy-go-lucky attitude, etc.- he finds himself gravitating toward him; as much as he fights it, he's attached to him.
atelier set him up as rococo's friend, which he hated at first, but at this point, it's barely pretending at all. he does appreciate him as both a fun friend and a step to opening up to the world.
rococo 'inherited' a reluctant chiaroscuro as a friend. similar to his relationship with atelier, he brings a sort of levity to chiaroscuro's grumpy moods.
chiaroscuro is loath to express his affection verbally and instead attends to atelier's needs and provides physical touch when needed (and just in general). atelier also happens to be one of the very few people he likes, which is either a testament to atelier's lovableness or to his own bad taste.
atelier is not the most mentally healthy of critters, so it's a good thing they have chiaroscuro to support them. this isn't to say that they bring nothing to the relationship, though; they're very verbally and physically affectionate, and they take care of chiaroscuro when needed as well, which is admittedly less often.
