CLOVER ON ERIK. Erik is Clover's bestie. So is Miles, they're both equally important to her but in different ways. Erik is someone Clover goes to for the bad things; he essentially looks at what she's done and gives it the purpose she does because he agrees with it. Maias needing to die, for example - she brought that to him after a huge argument with her teammates and he helped quell her questioning her very existence and purpose for living.
In other words she brings her villainesque shit to him and he goes yeah I agree. Which she needs because a lot of that is linked to her purpose in life and so on and so forth.
But ASIDE FROM THAT he's a good friend, and someone she feels like she can be herself with to its entirety. She doesn't have to suppress how terrible she is, or how childish she can be, he never questions her about those things, and it's very, very comfortable. She trusts him just as much as her team and then some, and I mean, it's a good thing she does because he knows more about her than anyone else, considering he remembers her in Deco - even if that was Dawn, who took an entirely different path. And she's okay with that! Because who is he going to tell, aside from Miles? Who she doesn't care about knowing either?
But she does care about him, deeply. When he's in a mood, her first impulse is to try and distract him somehow. Whether it's talking, or drinking, or even the rare case of discussing what's wrong, she wants to help him in any way she can. She wants to do as much for him as he does for her, and even if it's just sitting there holding his hand - she'll do it.
On a . . . semi-related note, she does love him, but it's not romantically. And it's not something she'd ever admit to out loud because it's something easily misunderstood. But she loves him and he doesn't exactly fit into this family-esque thing she's slowly building in Kyr, but she's okay with that, because he and Miles fit into another category that has yet to be given a name.
Also sooner or later she'll actually tell him she's dating someone, oops. Things have just been . . . crazy, laugh.
