send me Ā ā hc ā Ā + a word and iāll write a headcanon about it regarding my character.Ā // always accepting.
PERHAPS EVEN MORE THAN AĀ ā FATHER ā Ā (Ā multi-faced, paradoxically omnipotent and absentĀ )Ā hiiroĀ (Ā or nora )Ā represents the past that he sought to leave behind. Ā most of my thoughts on their relationship come from when he revokes her name ; itās an abrupt action that, to me at least, felt largely symbolic rather than having ties to any interpersonal hostilities. Ā thatās not a revolutionary thought.
i think the sentiment / dynamic that lay just beyond the action are a lot more multi-faceted. Ā iāve always believed that yato would, more than anything, empathize when hiiro. Ā he doesnāt hate her. Ā how could he ?Ā they were raised as siblings.Ā i think the love there was real, especially on yatoās end, as a child whom had little other contact with people. Ā perhaps it wouldĀ be a little stockholm syndrome-y, but i donāt think that discounts it at all, especially considering the circumstances.
hiyori and yukine point out that in the moment of revoking the name yato was trembling.Ā itās not something that was easy for him Ā (Ā and honestly, thatās the only moment that i was mad at the pair, but thatās a whole other thing entirely )Ā . Ā yato knowsĀ the punishments that are levied on her when heād misbehave, and more than anything, i think he knows what itās like to live with father, and has seen the effects that it has on them Ā (Ā hiiro especially, whom is presumed to have been with father for longer, probably muchĀ longer )Ā .
i donāt think yato places them on two separate planes of existence when it comes down to that relationship in particular, i think that he sees it more as a line, a single plane of progress in father twisting them, simplified in my mind to being wrong and right. himself pulling back to theĀ ā right ā polarity, having been able to escape, and hiiro on theĀ ā wrong ā end of the spectrum.
i think this because hiiro has little discernable personality from what weāre seen of her. Ā i think this lack of anything to form her in yatoās mind, yato would inherently project his own emotions onto her, especially as a child. Ā in this manner, i think that perhaps even more than himself, heād want to save hiiro.Ā (Ā thatās also seen in the flashback / sakura chapters ; yato shows visible guilt and actively moves to help her. i donāt see him blaming her for sakuraās death, i doubt to be mad at hiiro for that had even crossed his mind.Ā )
so i think the trembling, and further, the fear that comes when he revokes her name is a mixture of both the fear of completely severing the ties to a past, and a guilt of leaving hiiro to be with father. Ā i think that in his idealistic goal to be someone whoĀ ā helps peopleĀ ā, i donāt think it wouldnāt be too out of left field to think that hiiro would be included in that.
further, i think that complete severance from the past is something that is further manifested in the coldness which he shows towards hiiro the entire time leading up to that, and afterwards. Ā thereās something that screamsĀ ā defense mechanismĀ ā in those actions to me, a deflection of guilt which i donāt have any problem thinking that yato harbors for doing what he did.
