Glad to hear. As for me, i'm doing good too.

In any case, both 9S and Laphicet are the deuteragonist of their respective JRPGs, who were created to supposedly aid humanity in their long-lasting conflict with Machines and Daemons. Both of them are kind-hearted and possess an innate curiosity for the world around them, and as such, seemingly the polar opposites of the vengeful anti-heroes of their game. Due to their personality, travelling with 2B and velvet would slowly, but surely, bring out their true, kind-hearted selves.

Both of them play more supportive roles in combat by fighting at a distance while their more experienced love interests fight them up-close, which, in combination with their typical personality, would have you believe they aren't much of a thread. In spite of that, they're actually more powerful and dangerous than their partners, which is made rather apparent once they're sufficiently provoked. Both of them also tend to fight at a distance, 9S by wielding his weapons with telekinesis rather than physically (complemented by his Pod programs and hacking), and Laphicet by telekinetically controlling sheets of paper (complemented by his magical attacks and Silver Flame), so it also has the Technology VS Magic theme.

Lastly, both of them would end up with similar fates to that of their love interest. Specifically, both 9S and 2B end up getting infected with the Logic Virus, which, depending on the ending, would end with them dying at the hands of A2. Meanwhile, both Laphicet and Velvet would end up sacrificing their lives to save the world, which no one would expect due to their social status.
