i PRAY that jurji and alexei's relationship doesn't have a tragic end, but it feels like it will bc of their circumstances and what type of genre this is. i don't even want to see them together, but i'm way more interested in their friendship and complicated history vs the main relationship's outcome rn. similarly, i wanna see what happens to alexei and t mac and other criminals.
lowkey, ML is a trashcan to alexie's pretty insane choices so i totally feel neutral about him as a character despite my overwhelming love for alexei (and by proxy, jurji). bc while i can sympathize with alexei's decisions that he quite literally played the best cards with the shitty hand he was dealt with, he basically never gave ML any autonomy, insight, or trust despite his obsessive interference. he's lowkey an abuser in that sense, regardless of the circumstances that driven him to do all those things. that fucks up a kid, esp if alexei was the only person that the ML was close to or knew the world through. but that's why i LOVE jurji- he quite literally knows alexei and his circumstances well enough for any relationship between them to feel sincere and not anxiety-inducing, and knows how fucked up alexei is (bc like,,, wtf is this dude doing, you know) but still cares for him and is willing to show it.
i hope jurji's character doesnt get twisted for the sake of the ML, or that he and alexei's relationship falls apart. but knowing how these stories go, jurji is basically collateral to the plot and to the main relationship.
