General Information
Citrus is the first character featured in Objectified alongside Spool in the episode "Emergency Alert", which released July 1st in 2022. Spool is about to go home with Citrus after meeting him in a bar when the outbreak starts, where they observe aggression from numerous assimilated objects in Center Ring before being carried off by Citrus to his apartment. It's revealed that Citrus has malicious intentions and needs to eat object's souls to survive, secretly being a monster object that can transform between a normal and monster appearance. Citrus lets Spool live in exchange for help finding and incapacitating other survivors so that he can feed on them. If Spool fails, Citrus will supposedly feed on him instead. Citrus seems to be incredibly charismatic when luring victims, but cold and manipulative otherwise. His object's appearance as a monster resembles a blood orange. Citrus also has strong regenerative abilities, which is revealed in episode 16 when a knife is driven deeply into his eye, but his eye is fine almost immediately after pulling the knife out. Spool comments on it in an internal monologue, confirming.

Additional Info

 * Spool assumes that Citrus has some sort of paranormal ability to charm people in episode 16. Whether or not this is true is unclear.
 * If you look closely in episode 1, you can notice subtle foreshadowing leading up to Citrus' transformation, such as his red glowing eyes and sharp fangs. Fur even sprouts from his limbs in the panels where he runs through an alleyway with Spool.
 * Citrus also transforms in episode 16 after being stabbed in the eye, suggesting that he loses control of his form when he's scared or in pain.
 * Similarly to Spool, Citrus is wearing a handcuff in his official reference sheet and merchandise, suggesting that he may be stuck with it for a while.
 * The description for episode 10 is "It came from The Night", which is a wild district in Silent Neverland. The official description for Silent Neverland states "Snow tunnels connect the inner society to the wilds, and objects that wander into the tunnels and into The Night will often never return. When they do, however, they're more often than not accompanied by something dangerous...", which implies that Citrus may be one of those dangerous things. source
