[2.5] “It is unfortunate for the gods that, unlike us, they cannot commit suicide.”

I wanted this to make me crawl inside my skin and have me laying on the floor cause… hello?? wanting to end your life?? been there done that, but it was none of that. It was okay. Less than okay maybe.

I couldn't help but I didn't feel much empathy for Ryunosuke I wish I felt. He wasn't a good person but on one hand, he tried to pretend he was. As he said, he wasn't a good father, son or husband. It's unsurprising that he reads as misogynistic. Regardless, his death was unfortunate.
