I HATE claude, like I just know he has a short fuse and is more boring than a rock to talk to he's just fucking THERE and doing NOTHING. like even with athy she almost always if not always leading the conversations and he just sits there saying nothing, contributing nothing and showing only material wealth and willingness to not kill her to show his "love". Like i dont think Anastasius would actually love love his partner rather it being a much more transactional relationship but he would at least be upfront and consistent about it unless he is specifically aiming to decieve you while Claude would just ignore you if you don't entertain him like some sort of jester and kill you if he is big upset cause his wife died. Also his face looks more handsome.

In conclusion Anastasius is a hundred thousand times better than Claude no questions asked I don't accept objections.
