"not red feelings which is what Equ wanted" Where did you get this? It was clear as day that Equius wanted to share a flushed RED romantic quadrant with Aradia. Don't you remember when he was slobbering all over the robot body? I'm pretty sure there were no feelings of rivalry or hate, just disgust towards her blood caste and "illicit forbidden love". Aradia likely never wanted anything to do with Equius, but thanks to alien romance "sure being weird" they ended up in a non-quadrant anyway.

I meant that Equ wanted red feelings which isn’t what Aradia expressed. So Equius didn’t get what he wanted.
