I spent two years in psych before shifting and yes, that seems to be the case with Reider. He feels control over situations and people.
As for the prosecutor, we did see a glimpse of his what ifs. What if he and Geom met at a totally different situation? He had imagined Geom living a normal life and meeting him, but he also mentioned he still would have preferred the broken version.
He could have been normal, but the circumstances are far too complex. I do think his new life overseas will teach him things.
We recently tackled in our psych class that most of abusers were abused as children, which seems also to be the case of Rieder. Some panels shows that he was obviously abused by his adoptive father. I think maybe he somehow sees himself in Geom? So he did that everything to Geom, to see if he can survive shits like that? Also, didn’t Geom somehow look up to Rieder, by wearing similar clothes and such, I kinda forget, maybe because of the fan translation but I didn’t understand it much. What do u guys think about it?
And also the prosecutor, I kinda didn’t expect him to like Geom that much since at first he was just like it’s all fun and games and discard when bored. But he somehow got so attached to Geom and still can’t move on after years… I actually thought he’ll be a good person at the end (but he did something good tho by cleaning Geom’s name that time). Any thoughts about him?
