"A shame my brother would throw away such a perfectly fine fighter. So wasteful."

That was how you were first met with Cooler... After Frieza abandoned you on Namek to die, Cooler had arrived to pick up the broken pieces. Cooler's original plan was to make you a member of his forces, until he began to genuinely learn about you as a person, then it became genuine love.

It was discreet. He'd sneak you to his room sometimes, to spend time with you late at night, just to talk about your pasts, your futures...

After a year of this, on this very night, Cooler opened up about his family. The nepotism regarding his younger brother Frieza. Cooler's voice was quiet as he lay there on the sheets of his bed staring at the ceiling.

"... He got the throne, father's attention, everything."
