"Friends Behavior"

bedes: Art of Mikuo, the genderbend of Hatsune Miku, in the outfit and stylings of Project Voltage's Fairy-type Trainer Miku. He has a small ponytail, and is holding up his pillow to rest his face against it. His eyes are sleepy and half-lidded. (mikuo)
A scribbled/doodled comic of Siffrin and Isabeau. In the first panel, Isabeau is waving Siffrin over with a big smile, saying, 'OMG Sif come look at this!' Siffrin sits right next to Isabeau, shoulder-to-shoulder with a calm smile, and asks, 'What's up?' Isabeau says, 'Uh-', which transitions to the next panel, that shows him sweating and blushing. He's thinking, 'So close OMG they are so close OMG how do i react WHAT DO?' The final panel shows Isabeau sweating, blushing and panicking in silence, while Siffrin remains sat next to him, also blushing but significantly calmer. Siffrin is thinking, 'We're friends. This is friends behavior.'


Cannot stress enough how integral this comic in the artbook was to understanding Isafrin for me. So many questions I had regarding Siffrin's actions/feelings towards Isabeau can be explained by "We're Friends. This Is Friends Behavior. *blushing*"

"Why does Siffrin say he doesn't know how he feels towards Isabeau, despite his internal monologue showing that he does with decent clarity?" They simply believe that it is Average Friends Behavior. Thinking about Isabeau when shown a buff man in a romantic evaluation context? Friends Behavior!

This, of course, interacts with him saying that he hates that he feels romantic attraction. They don't want to experience it. So he tells himself that anything he feels isn't romantic; it's Friends Behavior!

TL;DR: me when I'm in an "avoiding confronting my feelings" competition and my opponent is Siffrin
