Freyja and Hermes have a toxic relationship basically. They were drawn to each other bc they are both fringe ppl in amaurot but instead of bonding over shared trauma or lifting each other up they just end up hurting each other bc of their own flaws and bad mental. Hermes wants to "fix" freyja as in get her recognized as someone deserving of life just like his failed creations, and ultimately expects some affection in return for it. On the other hand Freyja enjoys the attention that hermes gives her but is resentful that he is actually recognized by society as being talented despite being similar to her. If they both werent fucked up in the head they probably could have made it work but they ended up making each other worse
