you worded this perfectly. This story is so sad because there are really people out there who feel like they're bound to live a doomed life simply from how they were raised and how their parents are. It can be something terrifying and that's what I think this author is also trying to portray here. kids mirror their parents, and in this case, it got to a point where Seiichi didn't even know he could live without feeling caged and trapped in his mother's arms. He wanted validation from her because he really didn't know if she loved him.
It’s truly terrifying to know some people never get a chance at life because of who their parent is, all we carry and all we are is a reflection of our parents the good and the bad, throughout this manga I realized I feel many things he feels for his mother, the codependency, the needing to escape, feeling robbed, it really does feel like your parent killed you when they set your life to fail. A scene that really resonates with me is being born to pity your parent, not being able to be mean to your mom bc she used to be a kid too
