It feels really bad that he assaulted someone himself. I guess the meaning to that was violence gives birth to violence?

Hhhhh , idk what to tell u but I'm happy for him. From the raw I read I like what he is doing he isn't the evil person everyone thinks he is from what I understand he was blinded by hatred to his step siblings and the one who looks like his adopted dad and his endless share to his old rape file . After this segment he will be fine for me

Why did he suddenly think of jonak in a childish form? And why did he stop sleeping in the same bed?
Also that sleeping rat was so cute....

i think it was something like this. the flashback he had was to another time when humans would use him and his brother - God - to justify murder, sacrifice, misery, and cruelty. he himself could stay “uninvolved” by ignoring their requests for violence but he still felt responsible bc they were doing it in honor of/offering to him. now flash forward to Jonàk’s childhood. he is in devout town that ‘honors God’, but it was actually a system used to abuse, ostracize, and control. Adain wasnt involved but by him NOT being involved with humans, they’ve yet again used him as a means to cause suffering. so i think he sees himself as the root cause for the abuse happening in the church and recognizes that the trauma Jonàk and the other children suffered was due in some part to him.
and for a guy like Jonàk - who wasnt devout BECAUSE of how he saw pious believers act - to sacrifice his life to reach the God of all these abusers and assholes he grew up seeing, and the first thing (and second and third) this god does is fuck him and claim him as a mate in exchange for saving his village of shitty people… i think Adain saw the young boy in Jonak who experienced very little freedom or agency throughout his young life ‘because’ of him (albeit indirectly) and feels guilty about sleeping with him, like he realized it was dubious consent loaded with religious trauma from the jump and took a step back. i like this detour tbh bc i rarely see books address how weird it is in practice for an immortal to be with a human without time to grow up/process/converse fr fr. like thats a 6000 year age gap lmao let him cook a lil im looking forward to seeing their romance bloom from this place.
He is such a clown. He has literally made him bleed, shoved him, treated him like a flashlight and got jealous when his fob wanted to sleep with someone else
