YOU HAVE BEEN EMOTIONALLY DUMPED!! I never cared about you anyway, you totally suck!!!!1!
No, um, that's basically it. When I called Swift a Matryoshka doll of repression, I was mostly thinking of his thread with Erika. He has a lot of feelings he is refusing to acknowledge! He feels betrayed by her total lack of regard for the team, which he can't admit (even to himself) because that would mean acknowledging that he wanted or expected her to care about the team, which he can't because he knows full well that is stupid. Teams are arbitrary! There is no good reason to get attached to someone just because you dropped in wearing the same color as them, and there is no good reason for him to think (because he is a super realistic dude who is never led astray by his feelings and always sees the unpleasant truth!!) that any given person would do so, knowing what he does about how people work. Also: to be betrayed by someone you have to have cared about them in the first place which is CLEARLY IMPOSSIBLE for all the above reasons, and also because it would be stupid because she is clearly a terrible person (especially. in hindsight) and Swift never makes stupid decisions. Yes. Of course.
POST-GAME he has finally acknowledged to himself that he cares about Jasper as people (and bird??) and that he would probably fall on a sword for them and do a bunch of other ridiculous things, so he is just mentally shoving Erika out of his conception of team and THINKING DISDAINFULLY in her direction and telling himself it is just because she is a stupid, arrogant, thoughtless child with no ability to realize that "oh, maybe I shouldn't fuck myself and my unit into a corner for short-term gain!!" who poses a danger to his priorities in Aather. So he is going to watch her like a hawk and make sure she doesn't fuck with his things :|a But--not gonna lie, I don't expect Swift to be anything but uniformly terrible at Erika at all times, so it's a good thing we have Eve . . . .
(Swift: not actually good at strategic thinking when his feelings are involved!)
Reverse :'D

IF ERIKA ACKNOWLEDGED SHE HAD FEELINGS SHE WOULD BE HAVING A LOT OF JASPER FEELINGS ABOUT THAT GAME. Fortunately she's mostly occupied with hating Citrine for being stupid and plotting how best to ruin their lives in revenge, because she's an intellectual rapist!! Winning and seeing people's pathetic faces when they're beaten is her sole pleasure!! She ruins people's lives for fun, she doesn't even need this much of an excuse okay!!!
It will be... interesting when she actually talks to Jasper again though, because she did have some feelings when all of Jasper was against her. :x Particularly at the end when Ivory was like "come stand with us!" Erika was internally a bit like "...why should I, everyone on the team hates me now. WHICH IS FINE SINCE I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM AND I'M A TERRIBLE PERSON!! There's no reason I should die with them rather than alone, I obviously am alone..." Which... actually kind of affected her, because as much as she doesn't... do feelings or teamwork or treating other people with respect, she also does not actually want to be completely alone?
SO PARTICULARLY THERE WERE FEELINGS ABOUT SWIFT BEING AGAINST HER BECAUSE SHE DID LIKE HIM? He was her favorite. Obviously the way she phrased it was "I'm disappointed because I thought you were smart enough to agree with me" and that's how she'd think of it. But she is also kind of... sad that they can't do things together. Not that she'd ever admit it. But it was fun when they bantered and made fun of people together, why does that have to stop when murder is involved. :( OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. That was a very exciting game and I am still working out Erika's actual feelings.
...She's not going to show any of that though, because Erika is excellent at being like no I have no feelings I'm the villain, it's fine if you treat me like that because that's who I am!!
More of Swift's thoughts on Jasper in general?
