Admin Mawile:ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ Yep, you’re right about the psychology!! And I’m writing how they’d be at first, their initial reactions to the treatment before they realize that it’s not some kind of trick or unusual punishment, kay?
Shuu:
-Shuu would have thought that finally being left alone, not trained or punished or expected to perform would be a good thing. But the sudden lack of seemingly any interest in him is just sickening. He has to have done something wrong, this isn’t normal, it isn’t right.
Reiji:
-It makes him more neurotic than ever, anxious and stir-crazy without some kind of purpose. Reiji has spent his whole life trying to become the best pet possible, and having his one source of value taken away makes him think that he’s really just been deemed worthless.
Ayato:
-He’s convinced that he’s done something wrong, been bad enough that they’re not bothering with him anymore, maybe getting ready to return or sell him for not being worth their time. If anything, not being treated like a pet just makes Ayato try twice as hard to be good one.
Kanato:
-Is he crying too much? I he too noisy or too quiet or not responsive enough? There has to be some reason why his new owner doesn’t want him. They may not be hurting him yet, but that just means something worse is coming. Whatever he’s doing wrong, he’ll fix it.
Laito:
-An owner not treating him like a proper pet means something is very, very wrong. Laito’s world view is unmovable, anything that goes against it has to be a sign of something bad, and an owner going against everything he’s supposed to be is just a whole new kind of cruelty to him.
Subaru:
-He’s beyond suspicious, he’s sick with worry that they’re plotting something, hiding the pain that’s to come behind the kind, fake, way they act. There’s no way a human would bother to buy him just to ignore his every purpose, they have to be planning to do something horrible as soon as he relaxes.
Ruki:
-No human, no owner, would have any legitimate reason to treat him so well. They have to be planning something, either that or they just see no use for him. A home this kind isn’t real, can’t be, especially not for a scared, branded, worthless, low quality stray.
Kou:
-They probably can’t get close enough for him to notice the difference. Kou panics around humans, an owner all the more so, hiding and crying and doing anything to keep them away. He’d be so sick with fear that he’d barely notice that they weren’t punishing him for lashing out.
Yuuma:
-Yeah, they’re up to something. He’s not the type of pet that gets treated nicely, at best, he’s for physical labor, not some valuable purebred that an owner would want to fuss over. They’re planning something, something so painful and awful that it warrants such an elaborate act to set it up. He’s terrified.
Azusa:
-What has he done so wrong that they won’t even use him? Could he possibly be so worthless that his owner doesn’t even want to hurt him? It makes Azusa miserable, thinking that he’s so unwanted, so bad and useless that he isn’t even allowed to be punished for it.
Carla:
-He’s been so good, even if he’s weak and sick, he can’t deserve being thrown away like this. Carla wholeheartedly believes that there’s no use in him beyond a pet, that if he’s not pleasing an owner, he should be dead, and for how cruel this owner is being, it probably won’t be long until he is.
Shin:
-He’s known cruel owners before, but pretending to be so nice is a whole new kind of sadism. Shin knows that they’re just tricking him into messing up, into letting his guard down and giving them a reason to hurt him or send him back to be put down for sure, and he’s not falling for it.
