Something that really punches me in the guts in WHA Chapter 93 [Major spoilers of course]
It's the way Olruggio is all smiles while telling Qifrey to erase his memories. He seems so cheerful about it, which is such a contrast to how Qifrey is crying his heart out.
He seems like he's downplaying the gravity of what is happening so much, perhaps to not make this more difficult for Qifrey if he shows he hurts too ?
He's all cheers and smiles, until he snaps. Until he can't hold it anymore. And that's the only time he snaps in this scene:
The only time he snaps out of his smiley cover is when he wants Qifrey to grasp his future, to not give up on life. The only time he got a tear in the eye, is him yelling he doesn't want Qifrey to die.
I don't know for y'all, but to me Olruggio trying to smile through it all despite how desperate he actually feels is one of the major reason this scene is so haunting to me
