my only gripe with this story is the fact that it feels it's trying to sell *us* the idea that Ilay's behaviour is okay because of who he is as a person in the story as if he's some sort of toddler who's learning empathy. i've got no issues with stories that involve sociopathic or psychopathic behaviour, but the way scenes are portrayed (whether the lighting, the expressions, etc) makes it feel like they're trying to excuse Ilay's actions.
