i might have mentioned it before but that colour page of rudolf and kyrie is like the Only colour page retained in the print release, afaik, at least in the yenpress release
thinking about how sayo despairs at the only ones who love them being their blood relatives when they basically have no exposure to people outside of the island
something abt the idea of the dead being removed from earthly pressures & concerns and thereby having the perspective to finally properly examine their faults and sins the way they couldn't in life
the reason that conversation breaks their spirit so hard is because suddenly all the love they feel looks like a reflection of the sin committed by their father
it's "The Book of the Single Truth contains the brutal ending of a story that's long, complex, and not as clear-cut as who was holding which gun at the end"
(also I'm beginning to understand where Hannah was coming from, because as soon as everyone was admitting their sins and George was like "I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER BOYFRIEND" I instantly started screaming for him to shut up because he doesn't have rights)
Me: "The Rokkenjima massacre had no single cause, it was the culmination of an entire family's twisted karma producing a tragedy beyond any one person's control"
Also George can have one right because it's not "I should have been a better boyfriend" it's "I should have been better at treating my girlfriend like an actual person" which is correct.
knock knock it's the united states
