^^Silence tends to have bit of a mad-scientist vibe to her lines whenever Originium and its applications come up. Point being, whatever the reasons for their changes of heart it's pretty heavily implied Silence in particular is atoning for a lot of unpleasantness inflicted upon Ifrit FOR SCIENCE!!! and the latter's almost fanatical devotion to her has more than a few echoes of some kind of Stockholm Syndrome.
Curiously, both Silence and Saria seem to independently agree that letting Ifrit come into contact with the latter would be a Bad Idea. Probably has something to do with whatever exactly triggered the aforementioned "Incident" and whatever exactly Saria did to suppress it; the cause of the disturbing hallucinations Iffy occasionally suffers is likely also relevant, borderline Lovecraftian vibes and all.
^eh, they aren't necessarily standing or anything.
