Both Hitan and Rai are also very similar in the aspect of them being hard to really get close to. They have problems with trust, in a way, and it kind of shows, even with the people they know they care about.

For example, with Helen, GGaD!Hitan sometimes does seem to pause as he's speaking with her; small hints of his feelings and hesitations that she might not care for him as much as he does for her, and fears that he might offend rather than annoy, and one day she'll grow so exasperated she'll leave him completely.

Similarly, for Rai, he still smirks (his way of hiding his feelings) and doesn't really tell CC!Frank and CC!Quinn how he feels about them (and how much he cares about them) until it comes to crucial moments where that caring persona just breaks through. In a way, he's also afraid they don't care for him as much as he does, and it'll just make him look like a fool.

Both of them harbor the fear of their caring going to waste, to put it simply.

With outsiders, they act a really distant, distinct way. For instance, Hitan always has on a smile, though he might actually want to stab whomever it is. Similarly, Rai hides most of his feelings behind his snarky expression, which is usually a smirk.

When Hitan speaks to outsiders, his words are weighed, because he doesn't care enough to give his feelings and thoughts to others, and he doesn't want to risk unnecessary conflict, which to him is wasting time.

Rai, on the other hand, actually barely speaks to anyone but his closest ones, or people he's observed for a long time. He keeps whatever he says short and precise anyways, and he usually gives a distant feel, kind of like a softer implied "I don't care" kind of attitude. Uncaring is actually a better way to depict than that quotation, actually.

I'll write down their past personalities later, I guess. It's really crucial especially for AtRtR.
