It’s starting to feel like the vagueness of Chisaki’s story is in of itself part of his story.
He was a child surviving on the streets after whatever event it was that liberated him from AFO’s care. We don’t see any of that, though—we cut forward to him being taken in by Pops. It shows that Pops is “kind” and “generous”, how he helped Chisaki. How Chisaki got involved with the Shie Hassaikai, why he’s so attached, to the point of doing all he did.
The only parts of his past we get to see where he’s not in the presence of someone else, are the ones that are relevant to someone else’s story (him using rats to figure out Eri’s quirk, him being in the orphanage which we now know was shown to foreshadow the Decay-Overhaul reveal, and his side of that is not touched upon at all).
We’ve all talked endlessly about how short and unclear Chisaki’s backstory is. It’s like they made it as perfectly concise as possible, only what was necessary to push the plot forward and explain what’s going on.
Maybe it’s that the actual point of Chisaki’s story is that his story is not meant to be told, because that is his “tragedy”. Chisaki was never meant to be witnessed in his entirety. His story was never meant to be his own. He will always serve as a tool to someone else’s.

Hey! How was everyone's Christmas? I hope it was good and pleasant ☕
I've been wanting to draw this for a while. The thing about Dranzer having healing powers and that's why we don't see Kai with scars. The thing is, what if she wasn't there anymore? I mean, there's that gaping at the end of 3rd season that opens up the idea that Dranzer is gone or something. I remember reading dozens of fanfics about it, but lately I've been thinking about it in terms of appearance, since Dranzer isn't there to heal him that quickly... Well, he doesn't look very good all bandaged up in the final episodes. And that dangerous cut on his right eye... I've really wanted to illustrate this for some time - especially the scar and the blind eye (◕ᴗ◕✿)✧°.
The second thing was actually how I generally draw him. It mainly bothers me how the eyes aren't in the "canonical?" format... So I tried to draw it properly and man, for some reason it's hard lmao??
Bonus: the smirk, because he looks so outrageous in season three, more than usual. I don't know who came up with this idea, but thank you very much *reverence*

Thinking about how in a single gameplay Jason (who already has blood on his hands and conscience from an incorrect call) can be faced with the decision to:
let Merwin face the vampires alone
stab Joey
shoot or abandon Clarice
shoot Rachel
lie to Nick about his chance of survival
leave Salim to die
And then thinking about how they find Balathu or Kurum half preserved and suffering and Salim decides they must put him out of his misery. And how when Jason automatically moves to follow through, Salim puts a hand on his gun and says “I’ll do it.”
It’s a choice born of practicality, not kindness. But to Jason, who’s made the call so many times he’s gone numb, it must also be a lifeline.
