Lye Batenkaitos/Relationships

Rui Arneb
Lye showed some degree of care for Rui as she was his younger sister. He repeatedly went out of his way to arrange meals for her, allowing her to experience the lives of others just like himself and Roy. In both arcs 5 and 6, he was also shown to be somewhat protective of her; at some point even saving her life by overtaking "her" body and dodging Ram's attack which would have been fatal. It is unknown if he was aware of his sister's hatred towards him.

Roy Alphard
Similarly to his relationship with Rui, Lye shared a relatively one-sided love for his brother. He cared for him although not on the same level as he cared for Rui, and could be repeatedly seen criticizing Roy's decisions and his view on his approach towards his meals. Although it's worth noting every Sin Archbishop harbors hatred towards his fellow "brothers in arms"; having said that, comparing his relationship with both Roy and Rui was far from hostile.

Natsuki Subaru
Lye held Subaru in very high regards and thought very fondly of him due to various reasons. He was the only known exception to the Authority of Gluttony and had experienced death more than once; Lye saw this as a big opportunity to satisfy his own cravings as Subaru would bring a lot of unknown new flavors - Natsuki Subaru was the very finest dish Lye could have hoped for. On top of that, Lye's emotions were highly influenced by Rem's, which resulted in him thinking very fondly of Subaru.

Subaru, on the other hands, held nothing but hatred towards Lye for consuming Rem's name and memories, thus erasing her existence from the world.

Regulus Corneas
Lye had a rather non-hostile relationship with Regulus. Both hated each other but they respected their views and rights, with Regulus perhaps being a bit too pushy, questioning his never ending hunger which resulted in Lye snapping back at him, stating he dislikes lectures. In the end, they never became hostile towards each other; Regulus even helped Lye take out Rem.

Reid Astrea
Lye and Reid shared an extremely hostile relationship. Reid usually didn't care about him and showered him with insults like "filthy midget-chan" while Lye tried to come up with an explanation as to why Reid was able to descend from his floor, before rethinking his strategy and ultimately deciding on eating him, which always ended with Lye getting beaten into a pulp and Rui taking over his body. Interestingly enough, not even Lye was able to establish a "normal" conversation with Reid.
