was talking to ford about this but i think like... the tendency people have to get really defensive over their personal interpretations of fiction ("everyone is wrong about this character" "i'm the only one allowed to talk about x/y/z") has much less to do with the potential for anyone to actually be "wrong" about fiction in a way that matters than it does with a search for understanding and recognition in other people. when i get frustrated by an interpretation of something i care about that feels wrong to me i am not really making a judgement on the truth of that statement or its worth to someone else, rather it is on a very basic level about feeling lonely. the discomfort in an interpretation that feels Wrong is often linked to a moment of "we have different life experiences" or "you don't see what i see" and then, "i wish somebody would see what i see!" as naturally follows.

Lord Delgal...I must find him.

This right here is such a huge turning point in Jean’s road to recovery. It’s him finally hitting that point and acknowledging that what happened to him was fucked up, that he’s actually a victim of monsters.

I think the two points of comparison that really made it clear to him were:

His sister being sold. Stuart was right. He wasn’t special. If his parents could do the same thing to his sister who he loved dearly and was the last person in the world who deserved that level of cruelty, then where did that put him? If he deserved the years of torture and his sister didn’t and yet the same thing happened to them both, something doesn’t add up.

Seeing what a true loving father is like through Wymack and Kevin’s relationship. Or even just that kind people exist. I don’t think Jean really has any good examples of what a typical family was like and hearing Wymack talk about taking Kevin in simply because that’s what Kevin needed even without the knowledge that Kevin was his son juxtaposed with his parent’s cruelty probably really hit home that what happened to him wasn’t normal.

This is also the part where he cries and it makes me wonder how many years it’s been since the last time he cried from something that wasn’t forced out of him through physical pain or psychological torture. I don’t think he would cry over his situation because that would imply that an injustice was done to him and he’s been brainwashed to believe that everything that happened was something he deserved.

Idk where I was going this but I’m really looking forward to the next book to see more of Jean’s progress towards healing.

thinking about the vaguely implied kaoru family trauma. kozue's hypersexuality and protectiveness over her brother and the way she projects onto the helpless baby birds and how mad she gets at the suggestion that they should be reunited with their parents and how she feels like her and miki are the only people in the world who matter. and miki's distrust of adults, specifically in the context of them saying they know what's best for you. what the fuck went on in that house because it sure as hell was more than just a divorce.

Are you telling me that the ‘Sunshine Court’ is a nickname between Kevin and Jean for USC? Since it’s actually the called the ‘Gold Court’ and no one else has referred to it as ‘Sunshine’ except for them?? Cause if so, they’re soooo starved
