I also feel like the ml is such a contradicting character, one second he’s playing with the town kids, and then come to find out he killed another kid for being useless? And he even cried while killing the father who stole medicine, but felt nothing for the mother he killed? I’m so curious and confused I’m excited for the author to explain.
I have 2 theories, 1. He’s slowly becoming more human like and understanding how they function(“now i get why you humans obsess over sex” ) so he’s gained bits of empathy. 2. He for some reason see potential in the kids/saw potential in father but ultimately lost it after he broke his trust and that hurt him(still on the empathy part). I’m learning more towards the first theory, especially because I think MC has heavily influenced him and he clearly has a special interest in him(him not getting up he hit him in but was instead shocked and almost scared). Anyways very loss theories but just smth to put out there
wtf is going on…the only saving grace the ml has is if he’s not human and is some sort of experiment.
