But also what the fuck?? He's just a shitty echo!

Therefore, it's time for another "Ask Me Anything"!! Ask me anything and everything and I will do my best to give you an answer!

If you want relationship info, please ask another question along with it!!

I play Yukine (Epona), Nemean (Cats), Caretaker (Tiamat Patron), and X (echo)!

This may be subject to some change, but I highly doubt it. I'm pretty sure that Obsidian's place with Yukine has been securely solidified. Yukine has loved Obsidian for quite some time, but it's always been as this abstract mother figure that he didn't really intimately know. He played his cards close to his chest while also relying on Obsidian for certain things, so it was a little bit of a weird dynamic. Like he was on a similar stance as Hiyori where Yukine wouldn't tell him SHIT as far as something he'd done that could be seen in a negative way unless Obsidian already knew.

I guess a better way to say that is that he didn't entirely trust him. Since from his point of view, Obsidian was this incredibly kind and pure individual (much like Hiyo), which doesn't make the relationship any less meaningful!! Their relationship was still meaningful, but it was just different. Yukine has a lot of issues regarding showing aspects of himself because he doesn't want to be either lectured or condemned about it. He's got a fairly poor track record with people reacting well to that kind of thing after all. The problem, however, is that he ended up placing Obsidian on this pedestal of goodness which doesn't really work for fostering a stronger relationship since he doesn't want to burden someone as kind as Obsidian with the foul parts of himself. He loves him too much to pull that kind of nonsense!

Yet in the heartgame, Obsidian showed very raw and very human sides of himself which knocked him off the pedestal into a more relatable person. Yukine appeared (in some form) to immediately come talk to him and he was able to be entirely open and honest enough—comfortable enough to call him stupid without sugarcoating it. WHICH IS A VERY BIG DEAL. There are very few people that he's that candid with and it's never a bad thing! Better yet, Obsidian is actively showing him some really shitty memories which is a huge sign of trust?

I'M JUST SAYING. EVERYTHING IS ON THE UP & UP.

Yukine loev Obsidian. They're gonna get even closer.

. . . HEARTGAME MADE HIM A LOT BETTER. In hilarious ways. He's in a better place than he's been in for quite some time. Everyone did an amazing job and really helped heal the cracks of his heart. I honestly thought I was being a dick in running another heart game, but after it finished, I see how much he fucking needed it. He's pretty happy and in a fairly confident place.

What kind of affects did the heartgame have on Obsidian? RELATIONSHIP ME BAAACKKKK.
