Gods, since I'm writing about it, I keep on churning about this, and now I'm being hit with the realization of how fucking INTRUSIVE AS FUCK Maruki is.

Ren's wish to have Akechi back was never spoken out loud to ANYONE. It's a very intimate wish, that no one around him would be able to understand, or that could hurt the ones he cares about. Like I said before, I just know Ren is even shameful about it since it's about missing and caring so deeply his friends' parents' murderer. It's his only selfish wish, as someone who is so giving to everyone else.

That wish must have been buried so deep down, shamefully, perhaps barely even consciously. And Maruki just guts it out and bares it to the world so balantly — Dare I say cruelly, even ?

Gods.

shido groomed akechi, and akechi deeply resents that piece of shit.

and then maruki came and groomed you (akira), too. and the rest of the phantom thieves, sumire especially.

no wonder akechi hates that man so much and tried to kill him. he even compares him to shido, saying that they are “no different”.

A One Track Mind, Derailed

Give me release... Let the waves of time and space surround me... Because I need room to breathe... Let me float back to the place you found me... I'll be okay.🌤️

I didn't intend for this to be so similar to a previous comic of mine, but I suppose they both ended up being takes on how Maruki's Change of Heart went.

I still think this comic was worth it, though. 'The Determinator' shows up constantly on Maruki's TV Tropes page, which is what I was trying to convey here.

Essentially--

"I'd rather die slowly to my hubris than swiftly to my despair." --was the most important part of that previous comic, to me.

This comic is the one that I really wanted to focus on-- "I thought I had to save everyone from their pain because mine was insurmountable. But now I finally realize... I could overcome it all along."
