To give some context to Shin's brother's hopelessness. The Alba told the eighty-six that if a parent enlisted in the army, their children would be given back their citizenship. But when Shinei and Shourei's father died, the Alba said that only one of them would have their rights restored. So their mother also enlisted, and when she died, Shourei was simply enlisted in the military. No one's rights were restored, so Shourei, overwhelmed, took out all his hatred on Shinei.

The framing in that scene where initially he looks up at the saint, then Lena comes in and she stands next to her and they have the pillars , and lighting divide them is subtle but is also sooo good.

I wish the show would have explained that better... I watched the whole thing and that still didn't make sense

While that context adds to the story, it's not needed to understand why he would blame his brother in despair.

Yeah Steph expressed how I felt for Lena during this episode. Not only does Lena have a falling out with Annette (which is her nickname btw, her first name is actually Henrietta). But then "Uncle" Jerome as Lena's last hope to stop the suicide mission basically sums up that the Republic is "full of fools and villains" and nothing can be done except for the genocide of the 86 to protect the Republic. And the cherry on top is Shin cutting her off to try to protect Lena from hearing his brother's tainted voice. She had definitely hit rock bottom after that conversation with Shin. Lena had probably never felt more alone than at that point sitting in her darkened room. I agree with the Wes' overall sentiment about Annette. I think she was very much projecting her feelings of guilt, despair, and self-loathing onto Lena. Lena was a constant reminder of how Annette essentially gave up whereas Lena continues to try to find ways to help the 86. Though Annette's reaction as a child who was bullied for being friends with "a filthy colored", is understandable...both her lashing out at her 86 friend and for being "scared" and giving her father an excuse to not help the family next door. Obviously, it had a profound impact on Annette and those repressed feelings of guilt finally burst forth when Lena called her out on "pretending to be a bad person". "Uncle" Jerome's exchange with Lena was an incredible scene. It was just two people having a heated conversation but the way it was framed with Lena under the statue of Saint Magnolia, the lighting contrast between Lena and Jerome, and the visual separation of Lena and Jerome by the pillars (and said lighting)...it was absolute superb visual story telling. And I always felt that Jerome was similar to Annette but far, far more jaded at the whole situation. He had completely given into despair and just accepted the Republic's sins. He gave me the vibe of simply going through the motions because there was nothing he could do. And regarding Shin's neck scar, well we can see how it came to be. It was a made from his brother's mental breakdown and attempted strangulation of Shin. A slight difference from the source material than what was shown here is that Shin was wearing a necklace at the time and that's what produced such scarring from the strangulation. Loved the reaction! Now next week can't come fast enough lol

General shout-out for the consistent upload times. Appreciate it!

I hope this doesn't sound bad or anything but while I've appreciated your positivity and interesting perspectives, admired you guys, even, I think this is the first time I've really related to and emphasized with Wesley with your story about feeling angry when you were younger and thinking of other people like "well they're all miserable to so they're faking it" and such. I appreciate you sharing that perspective cuz it's something I also really struggle with to accept about my younger self. I really was on the path of becoming like my father in my anger management and it really altered my view and faith in humanity until I really hurt someone because of it and it woke me up to how I need to be more considerate of others and think about how we don't always see what's REALLY going on in someone's lives. I carry a LOT of guilt and fear over becoming someone like that and tend to think "I'm a horrible person because I carry this" but I would NEVER look at you guys and imagine either of you as having struggled with anger or negative views of that sort, so you made me feel kinda.. I dunno a good word for it 😅 relieved? Inspired? Less hyper-critical of myself in some way by sharing that. Anyway, I always appreciate you guys and the perspectives and stories you share, it's crazy how much you really help me through and here I just started watching ya'll cuz of your cute, fun, and sweet reactions to BTS lol to you it probably seems like such a small thing to just watch some shows and videos and record it but you've introduced me to so many new ideas or ways of thinking, or just the energy and entertainment, or providing that feeling of watching stuff with friends is such a huge impact 💜

I'm impressed that you're able to catch a glimpse of Jerome's true nature. He's one of my most favorite side character ever. Dude's a broken hero.

Also it's a light novel originally so pretty much all LN anime adaptations skip and cut what they can because it's almost always from one or 2 characters perspectives.

This is arguably worse than the attack on titan world. Because it feels like there is never any hope

Wes And Steph
