where can this terrifying murder robot go? he'll be recognized anywhere. he'll be locked up even worse if he's found. kaiden was really honestly trying to do a good thing. he was trying to save sinder. but in reality, he just locked him up in his own personal birdcage, instead.

kai really thinks he's doing something good. there's a fully sentient creature being held in practically a jail cell, being used in science experiments. it's not fair to keep him locked up. but kai doesn't really consider the fact that sinder won't be any less confined his house.

i don't think that's too spoilery. i've talked about sinder leaving the facility quite a bit, and there's no big plot reason he does so. truthfully, the only reason that he does so is that kaiden convinces him that he should, and he trusts kai.

to answer your first question, no. kaiden does not recognize it as a coping mechanism. in fact, he doesn't know how to deal with it at all and it frustrates him.

of course, there's other little 'friendships', but those are the main connections that have seemed to form between the prototypes.

SCORPIO has taken quite a liking to AQUARIUS, though AQUARIUS does not seem to return the sentiment. SCORPIO seems to enjoy tormenting CAPRICORN, though CAPRICORN doesn't seem to mind, and quite enjoys SCORPIO's company.

for example, SAGITTARIUS and LEO have taken a particular liking to each other. ARIES and GEMINI are also quite close. ARIES and CANCER always want to visit each other, though they usually spend the entire time arguing and yelling. VIRGO and LIBRA also like to spend time together.

they do. originally they were only allowed to interact during field trials, but some of them took such a liking to each other that they were allowed visitation outside of field trials. it's considered good for enrichment to allow them to interact with each other.

merry christmas ♡

made a fully updated main front ref for sinder, and also a ref for a mysterious future plot point i haven't talked about publicly just yet...

taurus is the second tallest, only being beaten out very slightly by pisces. (less slightly if you count pisces' antennas.)
