. . . KK AND AERIS ARE LIKE THE BALANCING SCALES OF TOPPAGE. It has pretty much gone past simple dere into the realm of like deep personal connectionfaithlove. LIKE IT IS STILL KIND OF SIMPLE in that there are only positive feelings and deep caring and so forth but it is definitely on the love spectrum. And . . . a trust spectrum which doesn't get touched much. It isn't that Aeris is an untrusting person but she's really used to -- and expects to be in a way -- alone in a variety of ways. And she doesn't usually tell people if she's scared or unhappy or whatever because soforthandsoon. So actually telling KK that was like the Big Sign that their S. Link had just fucking maxed out.

reverse :3c?
