despite being friends with goro when they were younger, sachiko actually does not handle people being mean to her or disliking her well at all. the first time she tried to befriend goro he blew her off and she retreated immediately and didn't try again until years later. when she approached him the second time he nearly blew her off again, and she probably would have left him alone if he didn't agree to work together for the sake of their survival.

their friendship only worked because they both kept a certain amount of emotional distance that was mutual since both of them hate vulnerability. still, sachiko was by far the more enthusiastic and friendly of the two, bringing out goro's softer side. there was still a certain amount of rockiness in their relationship though, because neither of them were in a good place and they both dealt with that in opposite directions. (goro by stewing in it on his lonesome, sachiko by ignoring it and being social.) goro could never bring himself to be too harsh because of how friendly she was to him, and he knew that being mean would result in the end of their allyship. in the end he became mostly neutral, not overly kind or harsh in either direction, working with her in a manner that he justified as purely strategic, not personal.

if you asked them, they'd both tell you the relationship was surface level, and they weren't friends, just allies. until, of course, the Incident happened and they both realized they'd started to think of each other as their surrogate sibling. but of course by then it was too late.

#i was thinking about how she doesn't get along with morgana but does get along with goro and that sparked this thought.#sachiko asahi #persona ocs #sera posts #anyway their friendship in canon after goro's been 'corrupted' so to speak and is a much meaner person would be really interesting.#bc i don't actually think they'd get along at first. there's all the baggage obv but goro's just not as nice as he used to be and sachiko #is going to have to learn that he's changed (they both have) and learn how to meet him where he's at. and goro will have to realize #that if he wants to make amends he's going to have to actually try to be better and not be a bitch 24/7. they'll have to meet each other #in the middle #memes aside i think goro learning how to be kind again would be a really good (and necessary) part of his arc toward self improvement #learning how to be kind in a way that isn't just his detective prince mask. but because he genuinely wants to be kind and make friends #and be a better more healthy person who is a positive force in the lives of the people around him #and i think sachiko would make him want that. bc he does actually care about her and he wants to make up for what happened to her #(which he blames himself for)#sachiko and goro genuinely love each other and want to be friends but it's going to be Hard for both of them at first #and sachiko is going to have to learn how to curb some of her enthusiasm bc goro can't respond to it positively at this point #but they'll figure it out eventually and they'll both grow a lot as people in the process #sachiko's positivity can actually be extremely toxic so learning how to meet goro in the middle is super important for her growth too #but im just repeating myself at this point
