I'm suddenly thinking about Romeo and how he was specifically made into the King of Puppets. He was a fitting subject to channel and regulate Ergo, and the first (mostly) successful test run for what Geppetto wanted to accomplish. But I'm suddenly thinking... why specifically Romeo? How did Geppetto choose Carlo's best friend out of everyone he could have potentially chosen?
Unless he knew what type of person Romeo was...?
As in... He needed someone who would be fitting for the role of King-- a leader who could play the role needed to further his means. Because Geppetto could have chosen any old schmuck from the street, but he specifically got a hold of Romeo, the boy who grew up with his son in the Monad Charity House. Whether you want to believe what the loading screens says (and we all know by now how much you can really trust those-- looking at you, Rose Estate Cover Up Scheme) on Romeo specifically striking a deal with him, or if it was something else entirely... the fact remains that he specifically reached out to use Romeo, of all people.
So what does that say about Romeo, as a character? He must have a great leader-type. "My puppets and I are battling against death itself"-- so proper, places himself on the battlefield alongside the others... and "My puppets"... he personally took them in as his own upon waking. He didn't ask for the throne, he woke up and suddenly was placed in this role... but he filled it as necessary and he lead HIS puppets to help the people.
I think we can say he's brave, friendly and hopeful, if the flashback upon first meeting Carlo says anything, plus, his repeated attempts at getting P to remember him and join him in the fight against the disease. We can tell he's a great leader, and has a good sense of humor (the amused little chuckle you hear in his message to P saying "You're still an unstoppable fellow"), absolutely the sentimental type...
I just have a lot of emotions about him suddenly. Romeo was... so good.
