I wonder how Daiya would feel if Mondo died?
Not during the race, but if there was some kind of turf war or gang rivalry that somehow led to Mondo getting wounded too badly. How would Daiya react to his 15 year old brother lying in his arms, coughing up blood, telling him that it hurts and he's scared. He wouldn't be able to keep any of the promises he's making to the teen, but he still says that he'll keep him safe and everything will be ok.
Would there be carnage when Mondo's eyes lose the already pale lavender they hold? Would there be bloodshed when the hand gripping his Anaki's jacket becomes too weak to hold on any longer? Would the tears finally be allowed to fall when the white lights appear at the end of the tunnel?
Would the brunt of the violence be towards the other gang or to Daiya's own psyche?
Would Daiya hold on tighter when his brother can't hold on at all anymore?
How long would it take for the other Diamonds' to convince him to stand up and fight? Would he even hear them over the sound of his own heart shattering? Would he hear them over his pleas for Mondo to just wake up?
I wonder, very deeply, how Daiya would be able to live with himself after practically guiding Mondo by the hand to Death's door.
