tfw you want to just trauma dump on someone...
obviously we dont know who chihiro's first kill is and how he did it but i think chihiro can't talk about this with anybody in his circle of friends esp the adults bc he doesnt want to put that kind of burden or guilt on the people who let him go on this journey in the first place *ehem*shiba*ehem*. them being able to unload this with each other, i feel, must be cathartic in some way
edit: i also think chihiro wouldnt make any excuses for himself when he killed this stranger in particular; even if it did ended with him saving someone
#this is my attempt at word vomitting in comic form i personally think that there's an iota of truth on what hiruhiko said#that they can understand each other#also i noticed while reading the manga was that they're both very observational ppl#i subscribe to the fact that hiruhiko can most definitely read the room and read ppl bc it's one of the many skills of survival he needs#like how he knew chihiro was going to draw enten to summon samura for iori#he just can't understand his OWN emotions and feelings and how much he actually wants someone to understand him#he's putting all that on chihiro bc of how he thinks they're the same with the basis only being that they're of the same age--#--and have killed people#him concluding his feelings towards chihiro that they must die by each other's hand is sooooooooooo funny how do i even start to unpack tha#kagurabachi#chihiro rokuhira#hiruhiko#chihiku#chihiru#my art#fanart
