Jr. is almost 40, but looks 25. He's now 6'3" and has an actual gunblade that Sephiroth commissioned for him from one of the alchemists. His Red Dragon power has gotten even more powerful, but he controls it a bit better than he did when it was still weak. Since the difference between his real and physical ages isn't as significant anymore, he's likely to flirt at least a bit with most people. Because of Things I have plotted, he's noticed his morality slipping and stopped it, so he hasn't gotten much more unstable...just a bit more frustrated that this is still going on. He and Albedo switch out on whims, so you never know which one is going to be out at any given time. Albedo's mellowed out a bit, but is still deliberately obnoxious and his mental stability comes and goes. For the most part, he doesn't do anything really horrible because he has a constant chaperon, but talking to him can be a bit unsettling when he's in his less stable phases. Maybe he's gotten his hands on a decent piano and shown Adstring his own musical talent?
Ulquiorra has kept edging toward acting more human and understands his emotions a lot better by now. Something or another has prompted him to finally admit he has friends, though he's still something of a wet blanket despite the dry, teasing sense of humor he picked up from said friends. He might know how to smile now, however. He's also gotten better with his second release and can actually, you know, hit things with his Lanza De La Relampago. He's also probably a bit less wary of the Shinigami, except any of them that have stubbornly refused to believe that he's one of the good guys now. And he is, even though he hates getting dragged into saving Adstring every now and then. But he has friends to protect now, so playing hero it is.
