i always love talking about roland and ayin as parallels to each other, especially in the ways they're different. some of these ways are, imo, Extremely Fucking Funny.
the thing with ayin is that at the very least, he was doing what carmen asked him to do. granted, his cruelty with angela wasn't necessarily something carmen foresaw. and on top of that, ayin's insistence that he be the one to help the sephirot through the trauma he caused them (despite angela's attempts being completely successful to the point of prompting a restart) added an almost unnecessary amount of time to the entire process. but at his core, he did these things because she asked him to in the event either something happened to her or if she otherwise started backing out. it can be argued that this is a layer of conflict for him, especially when the sephirot had a similar devotion for her.
roland, however, doesn't have even that going for him. in fact, his wife quite literally saw roland's reaction to her hypothetical death coming and even had a conversation before she died. like... "hey, so if anything happens to me, please don't go insane and start a killing rampage to destroy innocent people. please just try to move on and live your life." and like... roland remembers this conversation. he just kind of completely disregards her wishes and does the exact thing she knew he was at risk of doing. he's just like "mmm, nah, and also i'm gonna do all of this specifically in/with your name."
like. if you're out here doing something worse than how ayin of all people did it, i'm sorry but that's objectively just hilarious. roland is one of the most unfortunately comedic characters for me. there's just no redeeming his actions whatsoever and he's out here judging hokma because he thinks hokma's nuanced take on ayin is unacceptable. like... even argalia is fighting for something with a tangible goal in mind. i love this absolute mess of a failure.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE OLD SCHOOL CHOPPER BUILDERS
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE OLD SCHOOL CHOPPER BUILDERS
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE OLD SCHOOL CHOPPER BUILDERS? The good ole days us old timers call it. A time where a motorcycle was bare bones. The early 2000s saw a half attempt at bringing back the chopper. But it was an utter failure to me.
