#01 - Love
Acceptance was something she diligently sought but something he avoided entirely because of its uselessness; why struggle to seek the approval of your peers when fear works so much faster and easier?
#02 - Lust
Arietta's desire for vengeance was what made her so volatile and appealing, despite her childish attitude.
#03 - Passion
If there was one thing he could admire about the whiny girl, it would be her ardor to serve her superiors wholeheartedly.
#04 - Rage
"You're mean!" She hollered across the room, the amount of anger in her voice alarming the Storm Seeker.
#05 - Depression
As he flipped around the arena and pummeled her enemies, regret overwhelmed her; if only she could speak her mind, she'd cheer him on to victory.
#06 - Bond
Sync chuckled at the sight of Arietta bound in chains for her supposed crimes at Choral Castle, and slid his finger under her chin to lift her head, whispering, "Don't worry, they'll let you out to play again when Van returns."
#07 - Loss
When they stumbled across the Liger Queen's corpse, Arietta couldn't hold back the tears; she spent the next two hours in Sync's lap sobbing and cursing the girl who stole Ion from her.
#08 - Horny
Sync couldn't deny the fact that he was human; watching Arietta splash around in the stream with her siblings from his perch in a tree knotted the animalistic urge welling within his stomach.
#09 - Blah
Trapped within Oracle Headquarters was dreadfully boring, so Sync opted for an alternate, sadistic source of entertainment: Arietta.
#10 - Pensive
Arietta giggled as she watched Sync in his meditative state, standing behind him and wrinkling her face in imitation, only to receive an aggravated growl in reply.
#11 - Confident
Cocky and ruthless, Sync was the undisputed leader of the God Generals while Van was absent.
#12 - Unsure
Arietta curled up beside the Commandant in the coach, resting her head against his big arm, and hesitantly admitting to herself that it was Sync whom she adored.
#13 - Stress
"Not another word!" He roared, flinging the accursed mask into the wall and denting it; he refused to hide any longer.
#14 - Calm
Doubt clouded his mind as he wondered, 'Why did I let her sleep on my lap again?'
#15 - Content
"The Commandant said I looked pretty..." Arietta murmured with a rosy glow covering her face and spun around in the new white outfit; Sync felt his stomach attempt a somersault as jealousy crept into his wake.
#16 - Excited
Seeing Arietta smile for the first time almost threw Sync into a seizure; as creepy as it seemed, she was kind of cute.
#17 - Happy
Sync pounded on the table and leaned forward, scaring the daylights out of Arietta and the waiter as he protested, "Do I look like a satisfied customer? I wouldn't even feed this garbage to a liger."
#18 - Hot
He didn't know what to make of summer weather in Auldrant; he hated the humidity but on occasion he could sneak a glance of Arietta running around with her siblings stark naked.
#19 - Cold
Arietta frowned as Sync's 'one bite' turned into eating the entire frozen treat.
#20 - Mischievous
A sly grin passed Sync's lips as Arietta approached the door and he mumbled under his breath, "Dist's brilliant prank had better be worth the wait."
