CR!! Silence/Song -> Maki & Erika or God first impressions of Maki

...okay, maybe not that dramatic, Silence isn't actually as frustrated with her as she used to be, but I still wanted to doodle that monstrosity because there's some truth to it. Erika is getting easier to talk to each time, and Silence does enjoy her presence—MOST OF THE TIME. I feel like I need to use a "how much can Silence tolerate you" scale for everyone, goodness... let's say on a scale of 1 "god you are horrible to deal with" and 10 "i could spend an entire day with you," Erika is up to...... a 3? 3.5? Not quite in the "generally tolerable" zone of a 5, but not a 1 anymore either. (That said, I think very few people would be any higher than a 7, so, I mean, maybe skew it that way.)

Unsurprisingly, Silence values Erika incredibly so during games and respects her the most in those times. On a funny (to me??) note, Silence WILL argue with her, but doesn't actually look forward to it because she isn't very good at it. Specifically, it's hard for her to have a Side at times because this girl is still forcing herself to be decisive even when she's feeling unsure, which is a little frustrating and stressful. SO WHEN SHE TOOK ERIKA OUTSIDE TO ARGUE ABOUT MEDUSA SAYING DUMB SHIT, SILENCE WAS MOSTLY JUST USING IT TO TELL ERIKA OFF and knew that what she was trying to argue wasn't really worth arguing. She would still argue with her though BECAUSE IF ARGUING AND SLIDING IN HER FRUSTRATIONS WITH HER IS WHAT IT'LL TAKE, THEN FINE!!

So to sum it up, Silence is not trying to find friendship in Erika, but she sees her as such an asset to the unit! And otherwise does look forward to her, sometimes.

Meanwhile, Song is unnerved by Erika and is kind of terrified of her. Song could be all OH ERIKA IS THE GRUMPY AUNT OF THE FAMILY! then turn around and see Erika and duck her head hoping she didn't hear her.

I'LL DO MAKI STUFF FROM ALL THREE NEXT TIME, reverse~!

Silence is Erika's second-favorite unitmate after Intensity! Which maybe doesn't sound that exciting put that way, but it's important. I mentioned on plurk at some point, but Erika is actually much more endeared by standing up to her and arguing with her than by bending to her will or cowering. Erika's initial perception of the unit was strongly colored by the protection game which was just after they arrived, when basically no one was interested in having an opinion on strategy except Intensity and Erika had to do her best to make one up. IT WAS A LOW OPINION.

But especially around Maki-live time, Silence was actually trying to BE PROACTIVE and BUILD A STRATEGY and also listened to Erika explain why friendship was not going to save them and was logical about it, so Erika's opinion of her improved dramatically. She's still not sure Silence is... smart... or any particular challenge to her, which is why she ranks below Intensity, but she does at least like her personality-wise a bit more.

MEANWHILE... Erika does not care for Song at all. In either sense of that phrase. Erika already has a very negative opinion of alternate personalities for spoiler canon reasons, and then Song being nice and naive is just the nail in the coffin. Erika prefers to not think of her as a person at all. Hm.
