oh. maybe he is aware and acting purposely to use to his advantage that the loan shark is stupid + can be manipulated easily . WOW
I think he does have some sort of mental illness. If you notice his childhood friend assumed right away that he had done something wrong, she knows. Also when he was doing the hide and seek thing he said "Come out before something really bad happens." Heedo's afraid he will completely loose it and hurt him. And I think telling himself that he's cute and sweet is a way to try to control his dark thoughts, probably taught that in childhood. I have a feeling that the dude at the door is going feel the full force of crazy Heedo not trying to hold himself back.
ok i was laughing my ass off but i got so curious , does heedo have a mental or psychological problem? it seems like he is kind of self aware based on the hide n seek scene where he got serious and suddenly went affirming himself that he's cute and adorable, like THAT is how he should be acting, not the other way around . was he forced to act like that or he wanted to act like that because, well, he doesn't wanna seem scary? like some kind of coping mechanism? or he's just really immature for his age. I DUNNO i am really curious as to what leads a person to act that way.
