#actually all of these are abstracted versions. the tonaegiri dynamic is a deep and intricate web i think

tonaegiri dynamic

byakuya with makoto: being around you has changed me in ways i cant describe. your capability and flaws have forced me to acknowledge you as an equal, and it does not frighten me as much as it should

kyoko with makoto: you have helped me see things previously hidden from me. you have shown me a kindness that has changed me fundamentally. i am now selfish in wanting you to stay near to me for selfish reasons

byakuya and kyoko: you repulsed me because you are too much like me; i am disgusted and fascinated by the reflection of myself that i see in you. but where else can i find someone who is similar enough to myself? who can match me like you? who can understand me like you?

makoto with kyoko and byakuya: you are people who i can never aspire to be on level footing with, and yet here we are. you seem strange and unknowable to me, and yet you have let me know you. and you have sought to know me as well
