Oh he's definitely trying, it just hasn't worked yet.

Zexion's general assumption is that very little of Apartment Sparkles approves of his presence, and as he is legitimately a horrible person, he's okay with that. Ptou still has his gratitude, and he likes Natsume a lot, but between Chrono's attempts at being all antagonistic and Tempest's existence, he's quite fine just keeping his distance.

The fact that he seems to have acquired a good number of Chrono's memories is a bit awkward in the way that finding out you accidentally ate someone else's lunch is awkward. He's honestly got so many other bits and pieces of things in his head that he likely wouldn't have noticed for some time if it hadn't been pointed out. But still, memories are personal things, and his apology to Chrono was honestly meant.

Chrono would make a better worse impression if he wasn't quite so easy to diffuse. But Delphinus was good for being reasonable.

What is sober Chrono going to think of the Things That Happened With Tempest while he was still in chibi form?
