Okay. Now I think the most fearsome person on the farm is little A. I already suspected it...

If you don't mind my asking, could you explain why Little A is the most fearsome person on the farm? I'm not disagreeing, I'm just curious. This latest chapter kind of made me a little frightened and uncomfortable with Little A? I'm not exactly sure what he's thinking right now and this in a way seems unusual to me with what I understood from his character - like even though he didn't want to treat them like G did, he's now sort of acting like that sort of person now in a way with Milton or sort of acting like his uncle in some of the flashbacks. In the past chapters, I got the vibe that he really just wants to help and make the other characters feel good as a way of helping them, but with this chapter, I'm not sure why he wasn't putting a stop to things or questioning some things - I mean he kind of was, but also wasn't - and then the whole sort of creepy/shady reaction he had at the end after Milton who I believe is drugged at this point was demanding more, kind of flipped some switch that I wasn't exactly expecting to come from Little A. I'm not exactly sure what to think about this direction with this machine and I'm hoping Milton finds a partner who fits his needs, as I don't think Little A can fill it as why else would this machine been introduced? Which I also strongly ship Little A with Kendrick as well. I strongly agree with you about not setting that machine on Kendrick, which I think would probably remind him too much of the trauma he's already been through and he doesn't need to go through that again.

I also agree that the biotech is absolutely horrifying and was not expecting it.

I'm not sure I can put this feeling into words, but I'll try. I always believe the most dangerous people are those who have no doubt they're right and that they're doing "the best thing." That's the first thing. Little A isn't fanatical about this, but he just hasn't encountered any real resistance until now. However, the last chapter... seems to highlight this trait very clearly. Little A is a bit like someone with autism spectrum disorder (which isn't a bad thing, but it greatly shifts his worldview). At the same time, sometimes, in rare scenes, despite his general sweetness, friendliness, caringness, and even a seeming weakness (?), he displays clear traits of a control-loving sadist, who, in his state of revelling in this control, loses all perspective. There are also a number of scenes where he seems super-observant, picking up on everything. In these moments, the author draws him in the way villains are usually drawn. And what's especially interesting is that all the other characters (except, perhaps, the pig) are rather simple, one-dimensional, and unsophisticated. Little A has three layers, a double bottom. He's unpredictable. Taken together, this makes him very dangerous.
