i think that lian is gonna be a major villain. the guy who's tattooing xin at this point has to be wei (mali said the guy who asked him to design the tattoo was stronger and taller than him, a guardian, and wore glasses. so by process of elimination its probably wei). lian also mentioned that she is basically the one who carries out all of the head family's wishes. i think that the head family is probably ordering her to do all of this and tattoo xin (as for why i have no fucking clue) hence why the head family doesn't give a shit about xin's condition even if he's basically on the verge of death. no idea why the head family would want this tho, or why lian would do this if she cares about xin so much (maybe she was just raised to care about the family more?).
tbh some christians only caring about christian values until they apply to them is very lore accurate. maybe in an alternate timeline the dad could've been a megachurch pastor.
