[Gilgamesh was wild, at the best of times. Chaotic by nature, volatile in nearly all he said and did. Before coming here, before being humbled by loss of power and loss of control, he spared precious few from his wrath. He was violent, and vicious, and exactly the sort of person Setsuna would despise. The sort of person he never would've gotten along with, would have to put down in his quest for understanding.
But in Enprise, the fates had been altered. His fortunes had changed, and so brought the two together. Bit by bit, little by little, Gilgamesh learned a different way, while retaining the core of himself. To this day, he'd never quite know why saving just one flower in the snow was so important. Why just one life mattered so much. Even so, it would not be an exaggeration to claim he has fallen for this man beside him, and though his affections will not be returned, they don't have to be. This is enough.
It is enough that Setsuna calls him King, and he calls Setsuna knight, and that they are together. So he squeezes his hand, and says to him:]
You are a very strange companion, Setsuna, like none I would ever think to have. But whatever you are, and are not...
[You are mine.]
I would always be happy to share this space with you.
