WA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE COMPLIMENT!!!

and yaknow, all good questions!

• Eight and Three are kinnnnnda together? and solar? i meant to finish a fic on that, but the gist is three has a crush on both solar and eight, but held back by guilt so they never did anything about it beside quietly supporting those 2, plus their mental condition makes it hard to pursue a normal relationship, at the beginning of the series three avoids everyone constantly until they got cornered by solar and eight; eight knows of this, and returns the fondness, she connects with three in a way like "you're the only other person (my age) who understood the horrors" and with solar its like "you're the best thing the surface has to offer", in a way she kiiinda has a crush on both of them too, but doesnt feel the need to change things as they are; solar knows of three's crush (they confessed at one point) and is similarly fond of eight in the same way. by the time solar moves out with marie (on the account of the eggs), eight and three are still roommates, and likely will stay roommates until they both die

• Yes, acht and callie do get to meet! before side order dropped, callie and eight actually went on a mission together to assess the whole. situation. eight returned to fight her demons too. they came across Acht and long story short, grabbed them. there was also another scenario where callie accidentally hit acht with her car, but that's still in the work (therye ok!)
