“Slowly withering in the same quiet that once broke his mother” it’s so painful to see tei like this Shuraka never explains anything to him and his self esteem is so low he cannot even begin to think he is worthy of anything.
Once he was a storm that hunted monsters in the dark. Now he’s just a bird in a gilded cage beside the one he loves, wings folded, slowly withering in the same quiet that once broke his mother. Watching him like this, you can almost feel him holding his breath, as if any moment he might hyperventilate, as if his very existence has begun to feel meaningless...pitiful Tei.
The situation makes me angry... Shuraka is killing him with his so-called love slowly.
And Shuraka? When he was young, he felt more like an adult than now. Now, he feels like a real child in a big body...power and bloodshed alone do not make one an adult.
Is he really interested in Tei? I mean, he did not even know about his brother, or more like his family situation? It feels more like someone seeking warmth and faithfulness, not betrayal. I did not see it at first, but now... I get Tei when he thinks that Shuraka just imprinted on him like a baby bird to a mother bird...
I don't know... since their reunion...Shuraka did not once make Tei feel secure or happy... He is not even aware of it... just thinking of himself again and again... a child!
Still, I guess Shuraka asked the male concubine how to prepare Tei for ....... hopefully...
