Niccolo, to me, is characterized by a very overwhelming desire to be loved.

Think about it - he fell head over heels in love with a woman who he considered a literal devil, all because she praised his cooking and showed genuine admiration towards him.

And on the other hand, he was incredibly quick to tell his comrades to essentially sacrifice him and attack the Eldians (who were literally holding him at gun point), and equally quick to put himself in the position of the villain with Jean and Connie in order to try and save their lives. In conjunction with the previous point this reads to me as someone who is used to, expects, or at least thinks he deserves being disliked.

I think that, rather than being a natural-born talented Chef, Niccolo was just a person who - due to his impulsive, angry and even violent nature we see demonstrated with Gabi - just wasn’t very loved in his early life. I think he took up cooking because it’s a skill that brings people together and that lightens up people’s day, and he worked at it in hopes of having that positive aspect ascribed to himself.

I don’t think his desire to make others happy is insincere, so much as I think it has a secondary - somewhat selfish - motivation of wanting to be liked and admired for making them happy.

And Sasha was the first person who never saw him through the lense of impulsivity or anger or violence - she only cared about the positive aspects he’d worked to cultivate. She genuinely admired him without anything marring that vision and he immediately became addicted to it.

Which isn’t to say he didn’t truly love her - they had time to bond afterwards after all - just that the initial spark came from Sasha’s praise and Niccolo’s desire for it.

But hey.

That’s just a headcannon.

A projecting headcannon.

Thanks for reading.

Sasha deserved better

I miss them
