correct me if I'm wrong but I was just thinking about the roykeeley in season two of it all, and that fight where Keeley loses it at Roy for being clingy because she can't handle how close they are now that they work in the same building but like,,, Keeley and Roy would have been working in the same building while dating for a good chunk of season one as well.
She started working at Nelson Road before Jamie was even sent back to Manchester. They would of had months working in the same building, so either Roy has always been that clingy and Keeley just didn't mind at first, which I found doubtful given that it only takes her like a week to blow up at him for it in season two, or Roy being clingy is an out of character thing for him to be doing that should've raised some kind of red flag to friends and loved ones that I feel like from what we know about Keeley as a character would've been treated with more empathy than she actually had in the show.

Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging
Lambda's favorite indulgence is simple. He gets the stuff he always wanted growing up but couldn't get for one reason or another. (Either lack of money or his parents not getting him much of anything because they paid more attention to his siblings.) Toys, nice clothes, cute notebooks, to small things like keychains or even food themed erasers. He gets them for himself because well, no one else ever did. So he has to cover for himself. (Though if you were to ask him, he'd tell you that his favorite thing to indulge in is milkshakes. He knows the actual answer would make people sad.)
His feelings on the matter are different though. If it was something like, say, the milkshake mentioned earlier, he'd be all for it! He loves indulging in something so sweet and small like a good milkshake! It's quick and tasty so he's not going to put a ton of thought into it! But when it comes to the stuff he actually likes and deeply wants however, it's complicated to say the least. His feelings are complicated. He wants these things and so deeply, he's simply torn between his desire to have the thing versus the guilt and feeling like he hadn't done anything to deserve it at all.
These feelings are usually the cause of him not indulging in the things he truly wants. Sometimes he forces himself to actually go with getting the item he wants but the guilt is still there.
Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)
He'd be sad, obviously. Or at least, kind of. He'd be upset that they're gone but at the same time, he'd also be kind of ambivalent towards it? It's not on purpose or anything. It's more of a delayed reaction because he will break down into a flood of tears later. It's just been put off for a bit, basically.
Concept of home and family?
Oh boy. That's also complicated! He knows that a family is supposed to love you no matter what, even if they're sort of dysfunctional and maybe a little selfish and terrible to each other, but they still love each other and are there when you need it. Think like a sitcom family. But that's kind of juxtaposed with the reality he's lived with in regards to his own family. So he kind of struggles with dealing with both of these things while he's got the TV fed concept of a family bouncing around in his brain. Because yeah, he wishes his family was like that concept. A whole lot, actually.
Home isn't much better since his feelings on the matter are also tied to his thoughts on family. They're intertwined to him. Home is family even if they move to a new house and family is home. He can't separate one from the other.
The lack of them being there has made his own home feel so crushingly lonely, even if he knows they weren't the best people.
