oh this is really easy bc its rei. he's got a really hard to nail down cadence in how he speaks (imo an element of sounding both old and young at the same time and/or to different extents?) that is translated very differently depending on the translator, which means there's no way to rely on like verbal tics or like tendencies in how they speak to convey the character voice, it's all got to be in What he says and hoping that the phrasing comes across right. makes me very aware that english isn't my first language so a lot of the subtleties needed to communicate that are just stuff i don't Know, but i also know he's consistently considered p difficult to write.

which is funny considering hes still the most popular character on enstars ao3 iirc? (checked and yes he is)
