Emil considers Echo extremely important to him in Aather, like she's one of the most significant people for him, outside of Peridot and Citrine. She's in an extremely similar situation to his, and that means that even though he can't give her the most perfect way out (and as far as he is aware, he did create his situation and has to live with it), he can at least talk with her and have her understand. He doesn't walk on the same eggshells with her as he does everyone else, because she gets it. It doesn't matter that she doesn't have to put up with him like Peridot does, and it would be beneficial for them to hear some of the things they talk about, he only really feels comfortable talking with her about them.
That means that Zwei gets to be someone that he can say things to that he'd really like to say to Ratatosk sometimes, while still knowing he can depend on Ratatosk's strength if it goes wrong. YEAH, I CAN TALK BIG, 'CAUSE I HAVE A VIOLENT PERSONALITY TOO. YOU CAN'T BULLY ME, except for when you can. Because while he would be extremely upset if Zwei hurt someone important to him, very much so, he wouldn't abandon Echo, because it really isn't Echo's fault in his head.
S... So, yes, he likes being able to commiserate and look after her. Both because he honestly does want to help her, and because he's selfish and it's reassuring to have someone who understands him. KANT WOULD CALL HIS LOGIC FOR HIS KINDNESS INHERENTLY WRONG, I GUESS.

What IS Zwei planning, if anything?
