You get sanitized

What happens when you're sanitized? Grief, anger, or misery?

Goggles:
• Oblivious (at first)
• Only when he hears your changed voice does he remember sanitization
• Convinced that you're sick, he forces you into a bed and puts a damp washcloth over your forehead (much like he did with the original sanitized Octolings)
• He stays with you every step of the way, doing his best to be as cheery as possible

Rider:
• He's initially horrified; he'd been partially sanitized himself, and he remembered the experience all too well
• He fights you off reluctantly, doing his best to not damage you
• Once he finally has you in a restrained state, he does everything he can to find a cure
• He doesn't show it, but he's frantic 

Army:
• He's confused about what happened to you; he didn't remember you looking so sickly
• He keeps his distance, unnerved by how empty your eyes look
• He flips through the manual, searching for any possible clues regarding your strange demeanor
• He finds nothing in his manual and in the library; he has a very bad feeling that something very bad happened to you

Aloha:
• He's both confused and oblivious but more confused. Why do you look like a bootleg Mask?
• He easily dodges your attacks for he's one of the fastest Inklings around, but he surprisingly doesn't attack back
• In the spur-of-the-moment, he shoots out a pickup line to see if you'd remember him then
• It semi-works; you don't necessarily remember HIM, but you remember being particularly close with this Inkling. It's enough to stop the battle

Mask:
• He's automatically suspicious; he's supposed to look weird and sickly, not you!
• You manage to land a hit on him, but it's not enough to actually kill him (it's still enough to weaken him, though)
• Somehow, hitting him sparks a deep feeling of remorse and you automatically say 'sorry', which confuses you both
• Mask finally concludes that Something Is Wrong and slinks into the shadows. He frantically scours the internet in hopes that he could figure out what happened to you

Skull:
• He too is suspicious; he's quick to jump back when you launch your attack
• He's strong enough to restrain you, so as he restrains you, he's quick to figure out that this ISN'T you
• He doesn't show it, but he's gravely upset at the fact that you're somehow being controlled by a whole other entity
• I could see him mentioning it to Rider by accident, and Rider reveals that he may be able to help Skull find a cure

Gloves:
• He's oblivious; he barely manages to dodge you in time
• His tentacle falls off, spurting a "strange" need to laugh inside you
• Your distorted giggle creeps him tf out and he dips
• He tells his team and Goggles about it; his team teases him that his "crush on you is starting to cause hallucinations" while Goggles casually drops the "Oh, your crush is a mostly braindead zombie now! Sorry, Gloves" bomb.

Emperor:
• He doesn't recognize you at first
• The minute you tried to attack him, he didn't stop to realize who was attacking him; he dodge-rolled out of the way, flipped around, and used the drilling mechanism to splat you
• He realizes last minute that it was you, and boy is he DESTROYED
• He stands there for 20 minutes, staring in horror at the puddle of ink you had been reduced to 

Prince:
• The sight and knowledge of you basically being a zombie is enough to make him tear up
• Strangely, you can't bring yourself to hurt this weeping little Inkling. Why can't you hurt him!?
• He begs for you to 'come back' and all you can do is watch, feeling like you're on the verge of remembering something but it just won't come to you
• These feelings have taught you a 'new' emotion: fear. You superjump out of the arena, trying to shove the strange feeling down into the depths
