Microphone and Knife

This article focuses on the interactions between Knife and Microphone.

Knife and Microphone seem to have become friends. Although Knife would usually complain about how loud Microphone was at the beginning of the season, this stopped when she started to have more control over the loudness of her voice, and the two seem to care about each other.

Later on, Knife tries to convince her that Taco has dropped people before and won't hesitate to drop her as well, to which she replies that Taco is changing and asks him to, if he wasn't joining, to at least not say anything about them. Knife says that when Trophy blackmailed him, he felt ashamed, so he won't do that to Microphone, but mentions that this is just a favor. He then tells her to watch out since she wouldn't want Fan and Test Tube analyzing her.

In Hatching the Plan, Knife sees Microphone pulling wires off the machine and briefly says "boo", laughing when she screams. Mic quickly relaxes when realizing it's just him. He says that already hit his favor quota, but since he was in a generous mood, that was a bonus, and proceeds to tell her to stop what she's doing and have some dignity, but leaves when decides that Microphone was pretty in-sync with Taco.

After everyone thinks Microphone was the one who saved Fan, Knife is the first to start clapping, making the others start cheering as well. When Test Tube tries to argue that Mic actually obliterated her, Knife asks if she saw Microphone do that, and smiles when she isn't able to say yes.

During the elimination, after Microphone quits, Test Tube tells her to walk in front of her since she doesn't want her stabbing her in the back again, but is interrupted by Knife saying that Mic already had enough. He walks her to the portal and says that she looks relieved. Microphone says that Taco is still out there, and tells him to watch himself, to which he only replies with an agreeing "hm". He then asks her to say hi to Pickle for him, and smiles when she nods and goes through the portal.
