Bastion and Illari interactions please!

I know it’s such a little thing but I really hope Bastion and Illari get interactions. She’s usually so grumpy and distant with other characters. I just want them to be best friends with Bastion growing on her overtime even if there’s a big language barrier that complicates things.

Both the last of their kind, but whereas one found family and content in nature the other only knows pain and loss from her actions.

Both unstable with their power and could cause mass destruction in the immediate area. Bastion needed others to stop being a ticking time bomb, so maybe Bastion could play that role for Illari.

Bastion didn’t have a choice in what they were but once given the opportunity made the choice to go on a different path. Illari only did what she felt was needed by her community and now struggles to even begin finding herself.

Idk I think there’s a lot to play with between the two. You don’t need to carry your burdens alone when your 7ft tall hulking war machine bestie can carry some of the load too.

Oh, the interactions between my two mains. (But… now Baptiste took the Illari’s place for me). Bastion and Illari really has similar fates. But they have one important difference. Bastion was created as a gun but he chose the path of being a person. Very very similar with Iron giant story. And seems like Bastion is happy. Illari was a person but she chose the path of being a gun. And Illari just depressed by her choice. Bastion found new life with his friend (Ganymede, and torbjorn after), Illari began to get confused in herself, aggravating her situation. But, Illari’s lore in general is just bland, all her revealing the identity based on interactions

That would be really cool if they had some interactions. I do see some parallels with their stories and personalities.
