one of my all-time favourite things in the entirety of kara no shoujo + cartagra is how infatuated all the main/somewhat main characters seem to be with fucking murderers
and i’m not even talking about nana “i have no problems whatsoever dining with a cannibal” takashiro, because she’s a whole other topic
like, there’s YUKARI, so morally pure that she could be taming unicorns, who looks at yukiko, who tried to kill her a few minutes ago and just admitted to killing several other people, and goes all like “oh, sweetheart, you did absolutely nothing wrong, that’s just how you are, so i’ve already forgiven you because your attempt to straight up murder me was just one more proof that you care about me really deeply”
and then there’s shugo, who, standing before a vicious murderer who masterminded each and every murder in the game and shot him several times with clear intent to toy with him and then kill, has the audacity to say something as heartbreaking as “you were the man i wanted to be. you’ll always be the man i want to be”. to call him fucking “the one shining ray of light”, i kid you not. all this while bleeding out and not knowing if yaginuma actually comes to help him in time. and, well, let’s not forget who his (ex)girlfriend was
goddammit, even reiji, the most grounded main character this series has, in kara no shoujo: the second episode manages to ruin almost every conversation that is even remotely connected to psychiatry with his deep sighs and remarks that literally no one except for him understands, as if he were will fucking graham but without the proper mindfuck. “…i know a psychiatrist. i’ve had to learn a little about it”, my ass. “i remember the doctor in prison now. i wonder if he could have cured her..?”, go fuck yourself
not even the tumblr true crime fandom that photoshops flower crowns onto the photos of ted bundy could ever compare to these guys
