(as well as a theory on his state of mind before mob)
so. i believe i remember dimple making a comment along the lines of “claw being after teru explains why he lives on his own”
(i think. im really not sure if this is a real memory. anyway that’s not the point)
my point is : this doesn’t actually explain anything ? there’s nothing stopping claw from taking teru’s parents as hostages to get to him apart from, y’know, teru kicking their ass. (remember we’re dealing with a kid, so hostages make sense in that case. you can bet on an emotional reaction on the kid’s part)
it also doesn’t make sense if you’re thinking of protecting teru. a kid living on his own isn’t exactly safe, and he is clearly not in hiding, given how much he uses his powers
which leads me to this. claw is clearly not the thing that’s seen as a menace here. but then, what is ?
my bet is on teru. we know he isn’t one to hesitate when using his powers on people. hell, he is even shown to torture people, and he seems really calm about it
let’s say you have a kid. he’s always been able to do some strange things, but hey, bending some spoons has never hurt anyone… until it does and your child basically throws dozens of adults on the ground, adults who were attacking him with powers much like his own and you realize -
let’s say you have a kid and you love him, but now you’re also terribly afraid of him and what he could do. what do you do ? you can’t send him to live with your family - how would you explain that and what if he hurts them, you can’t put that responsibility on them, but you’re scared -
so you send him away. you provide for everything, food, clothes, all - you just don’t see him anymore because of how scared you are
let’s say you are a child and you’ve always known you were different, but suddenly adults like you show up and you wreck them.
let’s say you are a child and your normal parents are scared of you and what you can do.
let’s say you know you are strong, stronger than even people like you, but at the same time your parents decide to send you away and you see in their eyes that they’re scared.
how much do you want to bet that, in order to cope with knowing your parents don’t want you anymore, and because you know it’s not your fault, it CAN’T be your fault because you were always this way it’s not your fault it’s NOT -
if it’s not your fault, then it’s their fault. they can’t handle how powerful you are because they are weak, everyone but you is weak
you aren’t just different - you’re special
