Athena!! Athena is also kind of a nonentity for him, but his opinion is pretty positive-neutral. He appreciated her ridiculous attempts to comfort him during the fireweek fiasco and he also approved of her GONNA DO WHAT I WANT attitude. On the other hand, there were some things she did that he was really baffled or irritated by, and her personality in general is also closer to the Mayas and Glindas of the group where he doesn't really mind it but he'd have difficulty tolerating it for any long period of time.

But that aside, he does think that she's a very smart and clever person and he's glad she lasted on as long as she did. He also was genuinely offended on her behalf that the producers would have tried to frame him in a way that painted Athena in such a negative light. He doesn't know that she really does carry that much baggage, or at least has in the past, but based on what he came to know about her in the time they had together, he was like "wow this letter is honestly insulting". Granted he also had the advantage of being really certain it was probably faked after the clues pointing to him started to pop up, but even if he wasn't the one being framed he would have called BS on the letter.

He probably won't know what to do with Athena once she regains her BS memories honestly HAHA. He was from a later canon point in BS too, so a lot of the things that he had done there he actually hasn't done yet in MMverse. Plus the whole not remembering killing three people thing... IT'S GONNA BE AWKWARD I am looking forward to it.

Gundam!! He's grown to respect Gundam a hell of a lot over the last three years and that really skyrocketed over the last couple of months. They may butt heads over things sometimes and not necessarily see eye to eye on every matter, but he trusts Gundam to have his back in rough situations and will return the favor without hesitation.

During the majority of the game, Kaoru didn't really spend a huge deal of time worrying about Gundam since he was primarily just sort of dodging around in the rafters and whatever else it is that Gundams do when they're unsupervised. He brought animals occasionally as a token and to help keep him company, though he knew Stiles and Gundam were stuck in the same area often and could keep each other company, too. It was after Stiles was recaptured that Kaoru really started to lean on Gundam again, which he probably isn't super unused to because they're probably stuck together on TACKLE THIS RIDICULOUS SHIT missions all the time. But knowing that Gundam didn't abandon the mission and take the opportunity to bail, even though he by all means could have, meant a lot to Kaoru. He knew Gundam wouldn't, but it was still nice reaffirmation.

When Gundam took over the role as host during week 9, Kaoru's gratefulness grew exponentially. He didn't really understand from the start that the producers were trying to kill him, but he did know that if they had captured Stiles, he had probably been revealed too. So he basically went into the trial expecting Bad Things to happen, since he knew the producers wouldn't be content to just let him skip through unscathed. Knowing that he didn't have to face that trial with RoboDoris at the helm helped a lot, and even though Gundam was being a dang weirdo the entire trial, he never once stopped feeling gratitude for him being there. Even if it turned out they didn't need much of his help until the very end, when it came to deciding what to do when everyone mass abstained. He was also grateful for Gundam to take over explanations and do his best to make sure no one else died. TEAM EFFORT WEEK 10 SURVIVAL he is honestly still kind of surprised they managed but so pleased that it happened.

In the end, things went a lot better than he had expected. He's proud of everyone and that includes Gundam for being able to work so well under such pressure. Like, he already knows Gundam is capable of it but considering this is their biggest mission to date with the highest stakes riding on it, he found it all pretty impressive. He doesn't feel the need to comfort Gundam or give him open praise like he does with some of the other members, so he's content to just kind of share this quiet satisfied moment of "holy shit we did it" with him and then go back to their usual day-to-day way of functioning. Nerd friend bonding over all of their new animals...
