Madotsuki strikes me as someone who has a lot of repressed anger towards reality. This deep-rooted resentmeny has lead her to be withdrawn and dismissive about the world around her, and more importantly, the people in it.

Unfortunately, reality is something we cannot escape, even with the deepest of dreams, and the longer Madotsuki goes without coming to terms with this, the more withdrawn she will become. She needs someone to encourage her to keep at least one foot on the ground, but this message can't come from the sort of people that caused her to turn her back on the world in the first place.

The partners I chose for Madotsuki are all compassionate, but dead serious, and could help her learn to come down to earth and connect with people. They come in the guise of the sort of mythological dream-beasts she's more inclined to bond with, so all the better.

Bendy was kind of hard to find a partner for, but eventually I figured out what his issue was. See, Bendy is competent, personable, cruel, cooperative, and reasonably thoughtful. What we need to focus on is why he's such an unrepentant sociopath.

As usual, it comes down to anger. Bendy reminds me of pinnochio, in that he was basically an artificial entertainer come to life. Aside from this and his 2spook schtick being reflected in his partner, the digimon he's paired with all tend to have their own ideas and agendas.

This is partially conjecture, but I believe Bendy's homocidal anger towards his creators is out of a hatred of being something he can't control. Learning not just to collaborate but occasionally play second-fiddle to a best friend could help the ink demon get over his fear that not being in control of a situation somehow makes him less important.

Meanwhile, Tyumon and his evolutions get to hang out with someone who not only is unafraid of their appearance, but downright adores them for it.
