Listen the only aftg scene I have a vested interest in seeing from Andrew POV is the Kathy interview.
I know he was drugged out of his mind but that was such a paradigm shift moment for him on his view of Neil.
Despite already finding him interesting, he clearly put Neil in the same box as Kevin in terms of being 'a person who is controlled by their fear and only willing to push past that fear for the sake of playing Exy.'
He doesn't see until that interview the major difference between them:
Kevin's own well being is Kevins top priority. I love him but he will risk others (Jean, Wymack, Andrew himself) for the chance at saving himself from Riko.
Neil on the other hand is prepared to put himself in the line of fire if it means protecting someone else from their abuser.
the fact that at this point in time Andrew thinks Riko is what Neil fears too, but he's endangering himself for Kevin's sake oml
'Like recognizes like' is my absolute favourite reference for Andreil and this is the moment I believe it happens for Andrew.
Neil is still a runaway, he's still Exy obsessed and a million other things that set him apart from Andrew, but in this one thing they are the same.
The way his interactions with Neil change from that moment on are insane, the increase in casual touches alone is unreal. I want to be in Andrews head watching Neil tear Riko apart on live TV so bad oh god

Imagine spending all your energy being cool and mysterious 24/7.
What an idiot have I mentioned I love him?
Idea came from a cool post @nouverx made about Alastor’s possible sleeping habits. 💕

I find viewers' lack of understanding of Day's anger towards Night very interesting.
There seems to be a very black and white line drawn from some people of:
If Night is the direct cause for Day's blindness, then Day's anger is justified.
Vs
The post episode 9 belief that: it WAS an accident, and therefore Day's anger is not justified.
So I thought I'd simplify part of the motivation behind Days animosity towards his brother with some handy visual aids :))
Every episode leading up to the most recent one has told us as viewers time and time again, that Day does not want to be pitied, that he doesn't want to be treated differently.
He makes it very clear that he is aware the crash was an accident.
And if we set aside the extra layer of him feeling like his place as 'the good son' has been taken, then what we have left is this:
Night was not a doting, responsible older brother previously.
(That's not to say he's a bad person, the nuances to why he was this way is a different post entirely)
His shift to being mature and responsible IS a result of Day going blind.
While Night's change is completely understandable, it doesn't take away from the fact that, for Day it's a constant exposure to the one thing he said he fears from people. The thing that kept him hidden in his room and ignoring his friends for a year.
Your kindness is pity.
You never acted like a good older brother before.
Your actions say: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you.
