Aaaaaaaapple can be frustrating at times because she is on a very very different wavelength from Selenia, and then they butt heads over IMPORTANT THINGS. Selenia tends to think that difference simply comes from her life being so vastly different from his. She didn't have the Score so she doesn't know how difficult it is to choose differently in a system like that. She's never really had to make cruel decisions for the sake of a greater good the way he has, so that's why she views trauma games as unnecessary, cruel torture exercises. etc. etc. Basically Apple is a shoujo heroine whereas Selenia is a JRPG final boss (from an fairly dark title at that) so they just...have very different experiences that are hard to share and understand.
But Apple is clearly making the effort! Selenia can see this and it's really appreciated. The fact that she came to him first to apologize meant a great deal to him and so he made the decision to...not cause unnecessary arguments with her even if he disagrees. Because they've argued and shouted at each other a lot and he wants to go back to dere fun times with her for a bit and save the shouting for the next trauma game.
...That said, her trauma game-related stubbornness does annoy him, because he had BAD EXPERIENCES with that sort stubbornness and he believes that if Sapphire tries to be too stubborn in the wrong game, other teams would hate them for it. So he tends to panic a little whenever she's all NO, NOT PLAYING because other teams will play, which not only negates their refusal but also will make those teams bitter against the one who refused.
BUT ON THE FLIPSIDE, he really respects and admires that stubbornness as well! She knows what she does and doesn't want to do and doesn't content herself with other people's rules and it's a very admirable thing! She is a strong person and he looks up to her in that sense. ...But like I said, he just panics over the consequences sometimes because of bad experiences and he doesn't want Apple to go through what he went through.
APPLE'S FAVORITE KIND OF GAME. Does she...have any?
