Something that I realized while I was rewatching this.....So Jevin isn't use being effected with love when Tunner gave him some that actually mean that when he was little he never reserve any love from his parents?
And I also notice that Sky doesn't seem to be a cultists like him like he looks like a normal kid with no weird marks/scars on his body like Jevin so does that also mean that Jevin doesn't want Sky to be like him?
1: Yeah- Unfortunately Jev’s parents weren’t really involved with him due to them being the heads of the Spire monastery and being more concerned with appeasing the sun (Or at least what they think is appeasing the sun-). So he was mostly just doing alot of religious work alongside his siblings and the other cultists. (With most, if not everyone in it having the sun symbols + rays carved into their bodies.)
Jevin in particular did get in trouble a decent amount due to the cult’s belief in staying fully awake during the day and immediately going to bed when the sun went down (He had horrible nightmares that kept him up at night and exhausted during the day when he’s supposed to be doing his chores.) So most of his experiences with his parents have been just- For a lack of better words “business only” (Aka mostly just regarding the Cult and nothing too family bond-y)
He definitely had better relationships with his sisters but their contact with each other was limited due to the tasks they were assigned to do in the cult- With his eldest sister practically raising him and their younger sister.
2: Sky was adopted by Jevin years after the cult dissolved due to most of the members being dead and scattered. (With Jevin traveling away from the now ruined monastery being the reason he found baby Sky in the first place.) Jevin definitely does not want Sky to end up like him and is trying his best to raise him well despite his own upbringing, The whole situation they’re in before the suburbs (Living in a caravan and being chased out of villages because Jevin looks like a cultist/ gets caught talking to shadows) and just… Black being around in general! (Black being absolutely rancid to Sky is probably one of the few situations Jevin stands up to him- And usually stops talking/listening to him like for a week or until he apologizes to Sky. Black hates that the silent treatment from Jevin works on him.)
Even in the theoretical situation where the cult was still there and Jev somehow managed to adopt Sky he would never let them carve into / hurt him. Probably even running away from them just to protect his adoptive son.
