The thing about Intensity and first meetings is there is no ramp up with him. He just shows up at 100% and those that manage to catch his interest, he will continue to bother again. So when Intensity first met Maki and was being... well himself... with the insults, he was really confused because she wasn't a) rising to the bait and getting angry, b) getting upset and passive aggressive, or c) being too much a space cadet to know what Intensity was trying to do. Which was basically get a strong reaction out of her. She was very calm and rational but not in a "I'm forcing myself to be polite" kind of way. She was just being what Intensity perceived as her natural self.
What is up with that?
That's very unusual and very interesting.
Thus, he talked himself into trying to understand what makes Maki tick. And since he is an asshole that stereotypes people and puts them into well defined boxes, the only persona (so to speak) that he identified with her is Ice Princess. So in his mind, she had inherited all those traits. When the damsel!B event came around, Intensity immediately challenged her to something that would be appropriate to her unit (since C did all the work to make sure Lives could happen) and that an ice princess would be bad at. So love letters! But then he saw how genuine hers was and was like FUCK I CAN'T BEAT THAT so --- yeah. He still tried! But he knew he was going to lose from the start. And it further confused him to not being able to pin down who Maki at all. But still intrigued, so---
Re: dominatrix, Intensity will literally say anything to get a reaction out of Maki (or Hiryuu too actually). So no, it's not that he has fantasies about her (even though she is hot and Intensity appreciates that). She is just a very interesting puzzle that he has no clue how to even start solving.
But it's fun, so he's going to keep trying.
(I'm really excited for Betrayal where Intensity has a chance to learn more about how completely off base his impression of Maki is)
Outside of A and Boss, who are the three people that Maki is the closest to.
