“Jean knew the heart of it was Riko’s complicated father complex.”

Glad we’re discussing Riko’s intricate and endless daddy issues finally.

I'm reading very slowly but surely (attention span is 0) and every part has been painful, but this one hurt especially bad.

Riko, on the other hand, had wanted to kill Wymack for over a year. His restraint could have been fear of his uncle’s retribution, but Jean knew the heart of it was Riko’s complicated father complex. He’d read Kayleigh’s letter nearly as many times as Kevin had. Riko couldn’t quite cross that line yet, and he absolutely hated that part of himself.

Bro... Bro... You will NOT make me feel bad for Riko but this shone a whole new light on him and his daddy issues. He didn't kill Wymack because he knew that was Kevin's father and he wanted a relationship with his own. He read Kayleigh's letter too.

There's an actual line Riko wasn't willing to cross and that's fathers.

This makes me unbearably sad. ☹️☹️
