#i am soooo confused

If the girl was being honest it couldn't have been somebody else on his account talking to her because she said he sent voice messages. He needs to clarify further because this hasn't cleared it up for me.

which then would also disprove him saying his content is being monitored because if he was sending voice notes and snaps, there's no wAY anyone with a job of trying to make sure he doesn't fuck up his career would see those and go 'this is fine carry on'

Something I've always found fascinating about Raymond Shields is that despite seemingly having altruistic reasons for being a defense attorney, his reasons for trying to convince Miles to be one are anything but.

It seems understandable enough on the surface. After Ray comes around and agrees to work with Miles in The Imprisoned Turnabout, he sees remnants of Gregory shining through him despite von Karma's influence. Whether or not he recognizes that Miles' decision to become a prosecutor wasn't just born from that alone—that it was in tandem with wanting to distance himself from anything that reminded him of his father to alleviate the burden on his heart—is up for debate, but regardless: he acknowledges Miles as Gregory's son through and through and wants to capitalize on his dedication for pursuing justice in a way that he knows would make his father proud. He wants to let Miles in on the life he was robbed of at 9 years old—the life he once dreamed of living, where he follows in the footsteps of his father by giving everything he has to save people, by fighting like hell for the vulnerable and the condemned.

That said, as much as Ray dresses up his proposition by making it out to be as if he's looking out for Miles' best interests (and the best interests of society, even)...his motives for trying to get Miles to switch sides are almost entirely selfish. Ray's efforts (and most of his actions in general, really) are ultimately a product of his desperate attempt to cling on to anything related to Gregory out of an inability to move on from his death. Wearing his hat and coat, leaving the name of his office unchanged...and now, requesting that his son literally change jobs just because he can't bear the weight of his own loneliness anymore. Because he can't bear to think that the damage done by DL-6 is irreversible and Miles has moved on while he has stagnated for the past 17 years. Because he has an idealized vision of what he thinks Gregory would want and fails to realize that his son's occupation wouldn't matter to him as long as it brings him happiness and fulfillment. In his mind, letting Miles go means accepting the circumstances that brought him where he is and allowing both of them to move on. And that terrifies him.

It's even more deceitful when you realize that Ray's pitch comes at a very opportune time for Miles given his circumstances at that point: that is, he's under threat of investigation for prosecutorial misconduct and at risk of being stripped of his badge. Ray might fake incompetence, but he's not stupid—and he takes full advantage of Justine's warnings to try to sway Miles when he's in a more vulnerable position in terms of his job. Which is...pretty fucked up, to put it lightly. Despite having a better idea of where he came from compared to most people, through this Ray shows a lack of understanding of who Miles truly is and a lack of respect for what he's come to value, even if his path toward obtaining those values had some bumps along the road. But he's so blinded by his grief that he doesn't even stop to consider how much he's really asking of him, or what Miles is really searching for.

Ray was moved by Gregory. He values saving people. Defending the weak is an undeniably noble endeavor. But to ask that of someone else without consideration for their best interests is decidedly less so.

For all his occupation requires a certain selflessness, Raymond Shields is far more selfish than he lets on. And I for one find that contradiction fascinating to unpack.

In the blue flashback, Tenzō stands with his back to a glass tank. He is narrating: "While I didn't like the lab, I wasn't scared inside it. My emotion's felt quiet." "Distant." "It was like they weren't there at all." A small red panel shows Kakashi looking down at Tenzō quietly. "...I see," he says. Beneath that, a small red panel of Tenzō where his body is now, he keeps his head turned down and away, as if ashamed. "It was only after returning to Konoha...that my body began to quake and shudder," he explains. The fourth panel shows Rabbit-Taichō telling Tenzō "You look like you're gonna be sick, Cat. Go to the hospital. Make sure that wound isn't infected." And Tenzō responds "Yessir." A Narration-box from Tenzō rests above the fifth and sixth panels. "But I couldn't stomach the thought of the hospital..." it says. The fifth panel shows Tenzō with his feet braced on the apex of a roof, as though he's inching forward, but his legs are wracked by tremors. In the sixth panel, his feet are closer together, no longer inching forward on the roof, still shaking. "I intended to stay in the barracks..." Tenzō says. In the seventh panel, Tenzō has dropped down to a crouch, reaching out as if going to brace himself with his injured arm. "Fuck," he says. He thinks to himself, body swarmed with thin white lines to indicate shuddering, "I'll just kill myself if I try to shunshin while shaking this bad."

i had to read kaihen no mahoutsukai's first chapter through someone on 4 chan uploading the images because viz media is, apparently, not available in spain. what teh hell man.

anyways i feel like it was a terrible mess of a first chapter, to be honest...the pacing was a bit all over the place and i feel like it didnt quite set the mood, but im interested anyways and i trust tanabe yellow because even if the birdmen ending sucked ass i know that wasnt on them because they were cut off and the rest slays so. I will obviously be keeping up
