Being friends with Ajax your entire childhood, even witnessing his change after the Abyss — he never wanted to talk about it or mention it. The change of his old lightful eyes, turned into dull, lifeless eyes.

Even after being a Fatui Harbinger, he kept everything to himself. At some point — he talked about how he's 'only a war weapon' and nothing more. Objectifying himself to the point that he doesn't even see himself as a human anymore. That's his only purpose, a weapon.

Dating him too, he never lets his vulnerable side show. Not even to you. So you confronted him about it, his eyes immediately looked vulnerable. He hugged you so tightly, afraid of faltering that 'cheerful and playful' look in front of you. He buried his face into your neck, hiding his expressions from you.
