Ripley, you better explain to him what Rose did! No excuses!!! I'm pretty sure she loves Zeronis, it's just her low self confidence, maybe even imposter syndrome (her having thoughts that she doesn't deserve him or anyone) and her fear of being hurt again in love may be factors on why she always avoids her responsibilities and why she acts like a coward in certain situations. I think they suit each other. Zeronis seems possessive and someone that only does things his way. Ripley is like the challenging opposite version of him and I think both of their flaws are something they are both learning from. Ngl though, Ripley annoys me. Tbh, I have to say I'm warming up to Zeronis a bit more haha
