The story is developing nicely, but that look in new chapter reminds me a little of the ‘’old’’ William. I miss that playful and a bit terrifying side of his. 🤧🤧

What are some of your personal fantasies with William?

My warmest and most cherished fantasy is the one in which I tell William about my conception of faith, the one thing about me that is both eternal and indivisible, and he translates my words into the language of mathematics, using them as the foundation for his scientific paper… I do not think there could ever be a greater gift in this world than that ❤️‍🩹

William must have read Thomas Carlyle 100%. I don’t believe that such a devoted Shakespeare fan wouldn’t appreciate Carlyle’s language.

Philosophical observation of the relationship between Albert and William

this is a fairly subjective interpretation on my part, but I have previously conducted several analyses of religious references in manga, so I have now decided to approach this one specifically through philosophy

Some philosophers, such as Bruno Bauer, once believed that criticism must be directed primarily at religion. In their view, liberation from religion equates to liberation of society. In Ludwig Feuerbach's work, the critique becomes more developed: God is merely a projection of human essence. People unconsciously attribute their own qualities to God and then begin to worship this projection. However, philosophers as Karl Marx, who initially shared this view, later stated that criticism of religion is the prerequisite of all criticism. For him, religion is only an expression of human suffering, and therefore one must examine the social conditions that produce this suffering. The full quotation reads as follows: "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." The logic here is that if suffering and exploitation were to disappear entirely, the need to seek consolation in religion would also disappear. From this follows my interpretation of the religious references, in which Albert gradually begins to see less and less of William in religious terms. William becomes a form of salvation at the level of Albert’s internal motivation, where a clear parallel can be observed. His worldview changes not because someone convinces him of the falsity of religion, but because he begins to believe in the possibility of transforming the world itself, which previously seemed unchangeable. For Albert, religion initially functions as a response to experienced alienation and injustice. However, once the possibility of acting to change the social order emerges, the need for religion as the primary form of reconciliation with reality diminishes. What changes is not belief itself, but rather Albert's relationship to his own capacity to transform the world.

What kind of teacher do you think William is? Is he more nice or strict?

In encouraging sense, he is not nice, in authoritarian sense, he is not strict lmao. But… I think he is a highly demanding professor who values precision, so his strict approach is based on structural results. He can say it all with a smile but the expectation remains absolute.
