The one you gave everyone!
-
Horatio: "'Leaders don't force people to follow, they invite them on a journey.' I made a promise to myself when Fher first told me my role in the group, I promised that no matter what, I would never force any of the others to follow me. I would work with them, not above them, and create an environment that was open and friendly and really invite them to come with me rather than just follow me."
Micha: "'Be the rainbow to someone else's cloud.' I always try hard to be kind and considerate, no matter what!"
Nico: "'The sun will shine after every storm!' It's very important to remember, even when things are terrible, there's something good on the other side of it. Never give up looking for that sunshine."
Briar: "'Work hard, play harder!' Get shit done but don't be scared to have a little fun while you're at it, if you don't have fun, what's the point of living at all?"
Amory: "'It's a funny thing about life, if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you often get it.' I work for the best and I expect the best back. It's just how things work."
Amos: "'Find what you'd die for, then live for it.' It's exactly what I've done with the group and our cause."
Kostas: "'Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.' Science and research are two very important things to me, but I don't think we should be restricted by the thoughts of others, rather we should create our own and share them with the world for others to test and respond to."
Ash: "'A-always try not t-to get killed.'"
Sol: "'Live simply, love deeply, care genuinely, speak kindly.' Kindness is the best way of life, it brings peace, and if everyone was willing to do just one kind thing every day, the world would be a much better place. I choose to be the example of kindness."

Now the individual ones!
-
Amos: "For giving: pretty much anything, I just try to provide for those who I'm around and I care about. For receiving: physical touch, word of affermation, and acts of service mainly."
Sol: "I've thought about it, but, honestly... I'm scared, and I don't know where to start."
Amory: "Raphael is the one who comes closest to intimidating me." (Lies, Sol actually intimidates him a little because of emotions, lmaooo)
Kostas: "This likely sounds cheesy, but anything non-self-depricating that Irfam says is my favorite thing to listen to. They may be scattered, but I enjoy his voice."
Ash: "I-I really d-don't want to s-sacrifice anyone... U-um... I guess A-Amory? I-I don't w-want to..."
Horatio: "I've already picked up on the fact that he doesn't speak up for himself and he just kind of does what he's told without question. To the extent where it's causing him harm. It's based off of my notes and observations, this could change, of course, but so far, Aries seems to be the one who struggles the most with self care. He really just does what others want and nothing for himself."
Briar: "Probably Revan, I mean, the guy looks like he wants to strangle people most of the time, so I honestly wouldn't be that surprised."
Micha: "Nothing in particular yet, just whatever everyone else wants!"
Nico: "Hmm, I've always wanted to learn how to ice skate. My sister took me once, she was a figure skater, really good too, until she had to quit to take care of me. I was never really able to pick it up though, fell on my ass the second my skates touched the ice."

Now my questions!
-
All your characters: Great answers! What would you consider your biggest flaw?
Otiaku: You're precious. Okay, best time of day/night? (Morning, noon, evening, night, etc.)
Beste: Honestly, I feel that. Favorite hobby?
Irfam: I... Yeah, I can imagine Kostas and Promachus were fuming after that one, Raph too, probably. Favorite place to go outside of home/the lab?
Raphael: Probably injured, at least somewhat severely, but mostly asking for protection/someplace safe/comfort.
Promachus: Aw, amazing. Okay, I don't believe I've asked this, who's your favorite person in the group?
Revan: Good to know. Do you admit when you're wrong? Why/why not?
Aries: Do you like snakes? Very important, lol
Gen'ya: Adorable. Biggest pet peeve?
Gorōta: Do you keep a personal journal?

Okay, hear me out, Paper Crown by Alec Benjiman for Revan.
Also, this scene/audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp8OPIdinF0
I feel like it works for several of our lovely characters and their future partners. Horatio or Katelyn to Rev about Nico, Esmond or Amos to Amory about Sol, and possibly someone to Kostas about Irfam. Wholesome but also sad :)
