Kurei is a lot more willing to show positive emotions and a lot less willing to go straight to KILL when someone annoys him. He's...softer, here, especially with his team. ...It's not really a change from his "canon self" since I took a lot of the characterization he started with from the chapter at the end when his problems were resolved as well as some from the part in the middle of canon when he thought he didn't have to fight anymore. It's just that because he's missing all the terrible buildup that made him who he ended up being for most of canon, the woobie that was buried deep inside is a lot more visible on the outside in canon.

Naoya is actually a lot derpier around everyone here than I thought he'd be. In canon, with most people, he's pretty :| and just really .___.;;;; when he's with the Aoe brothers. But I started him off with a memory of when he was with Kiichi, and he was REALLY DERPY in that and that influenced him a lot. His less-happy memories are helping him slowly become more sure of himself, as are the people he talks to here, but...yeah. A lot of the memories he's gotten back, if he isn't with the Aoe brothers, it's been with Wataru and he's noticed that he's a lot more...reserved with Wataru. It's mostly making him wonder if he's like that usually or if he's more often like the way he is with the Aoe brothers OTL.
