Because he's in a shock/trauma. I guess it's Also out of fear that he may disappoint his mother who treats him like he's a baby that can't speak. He's so scared that he forgets how to put together words. It gives an impression of a child who's just starting to speak. You'll understand more in later chapters
(Explanation and some of my history) ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Actually this has happened to me before. It caused from mental trauma.
When my dad use to beat me or beat my sibling and then was forced to fake a smile for every single family gathering or photo. I can mentally jack you up.
My father even tried to convince me once that I was crazy that he didn’t actually beat us but we just hurt are self and blame him.
After some time and me moving in with my grandmother I have realized many things.
When my grandmother would sightless shout or confront me on something I would tremble violently or start to cry. In fear of getting a beating.
When people try to have me explain my self on thing my throat would feel like it’s being forced to be closed, it become hard breathe and my words would become broken.
I would have to downplay my feelings or put on a fake persona around my family as a way to save myself from my own feelings. My sister is the only one who know that I’ve tried to kill myself.
I only told her my plan of committing it but never through with it.
She was the one who help me.
Im gals after 20 years I’m finally getting the hep i need. I have a therapist and take medication to help cope with things. I still yet told my therapist about certain things in my childhood but they’ll soon know.
I am so SO sorry that happened to you..thank you for sharing and getting the help you deserve
And I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but I'm currently on chapter 19 and I noticed that Seichi is talking very strangely. Examples of what I mean are:
Chapter 15, page 5-9
Chapter 17, page 12 and 15
Chapter 18, page 5 and 11-12
Chapter 19, page 6-11
I wanted to know why he is talking like this. Why is he stuttering so much? Does anybody know why? Will we learn later in the story?
Sorry if this question comes off as rude I mean no harm I'm just genuinely curious
