#crazy how you somehow see them as siblings even though they were one misfire away from making out in a field of flowers

What's your reasoning for liking Ben X Eunice? Personally I've always seen them as siblings but I'd love to hear what makes you think of then in that way

You see them as siblings?? Anon, that is WILD considering the way they were making bedroom eyes at each other only five minutes after meeting.

As Kevin puts it:

"Dude. You're drooling."

To be fair, I am also not immune to seeing a gorgeous woman wearing my clothes. I'd have my brain leaking out of my ears 🙏

And the way that Eunice giggles after Ben's stupid ass falls in the water—

I love Gwen's expression here, you can tell that she knows EXACTLY what's going on and isn't enjoying watching this AT ALL. (Gwen, Ben had to be a witness to you keeping Kevin's sweaty handkerchief, you can deal with him and Eunice flirting for a day!)

Gwen and Kevin also refer to Eunice as Ben's girlfriend. Gwen saying, "this was supposed to be the three of us, not the three of us and Ben's new girlfriend," and Kevin jokingly saying, "man, you cannot keep a girlfriend."

Kevin also says, "She's way too good-looking for you," which I think is really funny, lmao.

Their flirtatious banter does a good job of being suitably-awkward for teenagers while also being just really earnest and cute.

"You're awful at flirting."

"Sorry, I'll stop."

"I said it was awful. I didn't say stop."

"Does it bite?"

"No, but I'm pretty sure that bear you were going to fight for me does."

Eunice is just really quick-witted and she does a great job of teasing Ben without being mean. There's just so much fondness oozing from her, it's so soft, I love it. She woke up in the forest with three strangers and knew two things: 1) her name, 2) that she loves this fuckin' dork who gave her his jacket.

"Come here often?"

Ben is literally the worst at flirting, I kind of love it 😭 NOT THE TIME, BEN!

I think it's so sweet that Ben was willing to fight Azmuth for her, too. He's only known Eunice for a day and is already ready to throw hands if someone disrespects her.

He's also quick to comfort her even though he clearly doesn't want Eunice to go. Eunice leaves him with a little parting gift, and Gwen asks:

"What did she give you?"

"Something beautiful."

Ben's answer isn't referring to just the flower, he's talking about their time together. It was brief, but beautiful, and a little part of him fell for her that night even though it was never meant to last.

They're not the craziest relationship ever, I just think there's a lot to like here with these two characters and I don't know why more people don't love Eunice. She's got a surprisingly distinct personality for someone with no memory and only two appearances.
