It's also a little complicated on Rena's side, but in the sense that she is determined to do right by Hazel. She always appreciated when she first arrived that everyone was so welcoming and kind to her despite being sad about a teammate's booking (and said teammate being Hazel herself sort of enhances it), and wants to make sure anyone else who comes in feels just as welcomed. She wants Peridot to stay close and for everyone to feel as comfortable as they can! Since Hazel is clearly hesitant in some respects, and a lot of Peridot is depressed about Cal being gone, right now she's working extra hard to be as friendly as she can and keep the mood just a little bit brighter. She's trying her best to pay attention to Hazel's feelings and do what she can to make settling back in go smoothly.

She likes her so far in her own right, too! She's cute and a nice girl, but Rena can also already tell that she's a very strong person. And she thinks it's nice to have another girl on the team, too. She genuinely looks forward to getting closer to her and hopes they can be good friends.

How is Ron feeling about his age up?
