Boss! He likes Boss a lot and he's real obsessed with him after murder house. Very protective, mildly yan, would scream a lot if Boss died in front of him. That said, Boss's amount of paranoia and cynicism worries him. He realizes it comes from a totally understandable place, but he also realizes that that's a place anyone in Imeeji could hit with how things are going, so it's not just a worry for Boss as like an acknowledgement of what could be a trend for the whole community over time.
Phoenix is not someone who tries to impose his ideals or ideas on anyone else, either, so while he finds the cynicism upsetting, he isn't sure he can comment on it entirely. He'd like to convince Boss to have more optimism in people, but he also knows that sometimes that optimism will be hurt, and not everyone can deal with betrayal by going "fuck you I believe in you ANYWAY" like Phoenix does.
The whole overriding memories thing also really freaks him out because again, he is very against imposing his will or beliefs on someone, and if forcibly editing someone's own memories isn't imposing your will on them in the most horrific way he can think of than he doesn't know what is. It's one or twp steps removed from mind control which is a thing he's real not into.
So his feelings on Boss right now are like, he loves him, deeply, he absolutely sees him as family, but he will also absolutely oppose him if he decides to use that ability on anyone. And he's afraid of having to do that so he is really hoping that's not going to be an issue. Not afraid of Boss, but just, how it would affect their relationship to get in a real fight about it.
He trusts Boss's opinions and values having his respect and he trusts Boss back so he doesn't want to lose that on either side.
