Romulus Is Uniquely Painful Bc It's The Only Crew Where They're All Family And Friends Outside Of The

romulus is uniquely painful bc it's the only crew where they're all family and friends outside of the one job they're assigned to do. so they can't abandon each other in cargo holds like one might to a colleague they just met on a random research assignment or shipping trip. instead they're all gripping hands through industrial doors and bumping foreheads and intensely eyeing each other and literally begging on their knees for their crewmates' lives even though they're all fated to die.

the only reason why they encountered the alien was because they were all searching for a better life together. the only reason they couldn't escape the alien was because bjorn refused to leave navarro behind despite knowing the inevitability of everyone's death. tyler and rain almost didn't make it out of the room full of facehuggers because tyler answered kay's call to help her escape the xenomorph from another part of the ship. and the reason he didn't make it out of the nest is because he went back for kay. everyone dies for someone else. sick and twisted
