Ah true [@Shiyonichi]. Tho Robert and Phase are more rivals then parrellel

Edit: In my head Phase and Kiba are perpendicular, cause Phase is serious about the mission and worries about real problems while Kiba goes with the flow and only really worries about if Norn is a fairy or an angel

Then again I think that also makes Kiba and Robert perpendicular as well since Robert (seems to) strive for what he wants and Kiba doesn't desire stuff
