What qualities does your OC most value in a friend? Loyalty? Shared sense of humour? Or something else?

"Loyalty," says Phoenix immediately. "Someone who'll care for you, and help you if, um, you need it. And stand by you. I don't mean, um, it doesn't have to be unconditional but, um, it needs to be there. At least sometimes. And listening to your interests is good too. I, um, like that."

Their gaze flickers up to the glow-in-the-dark stars that Aaron helped them put up, and they smile. Yes, they definitely like that.

To what extent does your OC believe in the value (or even existence) of true altruism? Do they see an unselfish concern for the welfare of others as being naïve or foolish? Or as a moral quality to which people should aspire?

"Maybe a bit naive if you, um, assume everyone you're concerned about is good too, but not a bad thing. Never, um, bad. It's good to care about people.

"I'm not sure true altruism exists though. Aaron says that, um, someone should've been more concerned about me, when I was younger, and I've met a lot of people, so if, um, true altruism exists, why did people not help me?

"Electrocus did though. He's my nemesis, he didn't have a reason to. So maybe, um, it does. I don't know. Maybe I'm not really worthy of being helped." Phoenix shrugs helplessly. "Hard, um, question. If it does exist, Electrocus is probably, um, the best case for it."
