Within the context of this light-hearted anime about our characters? Nope. Some possible bluster from Alycia about dignity and experimenting with live human beings and misfocus on such petty concerns when the basic issue of “We’ve tapped into another parallel universe, what can we learn from it” all leading to the, yes, raised hands in the last panel.
In “real life,” I can see lots of long, angsty conversations. And maybe some sparring. Not nearly as interesting.
Of course, even in “real life,” a substantial part of the game was subtitled, Who Leo and Jason Are Really Into, so you caught that spirit well.
Hmmmm. Without going back to the individual strips (or even the original notes) to see if any of the following got touched on, one last evaluation off the top of my head:
Alicia on …
… Medea: Smart, proud, clever, outspoken, and with the advantage of being less testosterone-driven. Not nearly as sexy as Jason, but maybe a more effective person to go on a mission with.
… Alistair: Vishnu’s left eyeball, am I always that moody? I hope Medea gets him some therapy before he snaps. Unless she is his therapy. Which is kind of gutsy on her part.
Jason on …
… Alistair: He sort of has that spetsnaz vibe some of Rusty’s friends did. Creepy. Glad Alycia never got that way. But he’s certainly devoted to Medea, so that’s cool.
… Medea: Huh. Girl me is … kinda hot. That is highly disturbing, and not something to mention to Alycia, and certainly not something to think about any more.. I mean it.
