So at first I was more open-minded as well, thought that oh he probably has some love for her, but you know that scene where she first died (stair fall)? Well, the narrative (chapter 6, page 18) at first talks about her hoping that he cares and we see him trying to catch her but then he stops. So to me, he either tried to catch her but changed his mind in the middle or he didn't try to catch her and those initials panels were her integration/what she hoped would have happened.
Then we see him looking down at her, with an emotion I cannot describe, but it's definitively neither sadness, regret, or worry. It's more like he is thinking "oh, she is gonna die, alright then", he does not seem to care IMO.
So it's not just cuz of the blond, her first death was either him not trying or him deciding not to try for his own benefit.
Overall I get it, I was more empathetic to him as well, I get the initial chapter (letting her die since she would return to life) and thought that since he is most likely ignorant of all the lives she went through, that he made that decision out of desporation. But chapter 6, page 18 really did it for me.
no need for the whole analysis lol he's just a piece of crap
I'd say he's a selfish coward. Everyone is a result of their own upbringing but that's not really a reason plausible enough to defect blame or be pitiful. We can even say that the lil sister is manipulative, spoilt and insensitive because of her upbringing. But does that excuse her actions? No, dame with the dad, for all we know his personality just might be the result of his own sufferings (hypothetically). Back to the brother, his character is quite simple. He's always expected to be one in the limelight and the expectations of others just stroked his ego more, so when suddenly all of that vanished from his grasp, he antagonised the most applicable candidate, his defenceless sister. He felt jealous and inferior and thus killed her in a fit of rage. He does feel guilty though he tends to subvert and justify his actions to escape guilt. Regarding his obviously discriminatory and partiality and negligence towards our mc, I just have to say that he's trash. And lastly, I agree, he needs to die.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Oh my god yes somebody understands like at first I was Kind of understanding I’m usually the type that’s like kill fucking everyone everybody needs to die but I’m also the type of choice to understand everybody’s you know how everybody jump to that conclusion and I was kind of feel pity inside and saw him because he looks like he could’ve been a good brother to her but as I said the influence that he’s been through
Because of the father and before he clearly didn’t know the life she’s gone through how do you said like I love what you said like I agree with everything and I also thought that it was either her imagination or actually happen and then he decided not to because I do think he did and it wasn’t her imagination because he did reach out his hand but yeah I’m kind of sad but he needs to fucking die now like he needs to beg for mercy at this point also the little blonde do you thinks way too much of herself I clearly want her ass dead and I kind of want the father to be in his deathbed and regret absolutely everything that brings me the most satisfaction every time
He may be a piece of crap but that’s the whole point of the story in my opinion you want to analyze it at least when you’re interested in the characters in this is an awesome amazing story even then we seen this done before because it makes you curious and I love that it makes me want to analyze it but yeah he is poop in a coward
Also I would love like I would love to see what would happen if the mother just her girl came to life I wanna see how she would act because she would not give a crap about her husband or her son at that point she would be hell a disappointed like didn’t never go through the fathers mind of how the mother would fucking feel if he treated part of her and him like that because then it ever cross his mind like it leaks treat her decently he’s clearly a selfish ass
I agree everybody is themselves to a certain extent and Deb groaning does hurt but I think the Blondie was just always like that I think she took a vantage of the love that she had and had absolutely no pity for understanding because she was a commoner of the pain that other people could give to you mean that even though she probably went through all that stuff she still had absolutely no empathy put somebody else I’m pretty sure she’s a sociopath
The only problem is for me that I kind of feel I’m very harsh but weirdly enough I feel kind of bad for the brother because his actions they all look like they were represent that way because of how the father treated the daughter in the first place or main character so because every time she was actually about to get hurt if the other sister the Blondie was there he would use her but when she’s not he acts like a regular siblings should you know like he did worry for her not as much is I normally should be Like the time he almost threw her down the stairs at first as immediate reaction is oh my god my sisters falling down the stairs and then he thought about it and then stopped which just that action in general just tells me did the way that he acts towards her was 100% nurtured and because he sees the other one is a sister than I get him caring about her more because that’s the way it was treated in the first place and I’m usually extremely harsh and I’m like nuke everyone but weirdly enough it should be fascinates me a little bit but still he needs to die
