AND LIKE HOW SETO WANTED TO BREAK DOWN TOO LIKEEEE like speaking abt how he had to keep his emotions that wanted to burst out in check like god AND THATS ANOTHER THING WE NEVER SEE SETO ACKNOWLEDGE, how seto felt abt the fucking futility of kano and ayano keeping the fate of their eventual deaths away from seto and kido at the expense of ayano's life and kano subjecting himself to saeru's abuse, bc seto had known about their inevitable deaths far longer than the two of them ever did so they put themselves through all that for virtually nothing when it came to protecting seto from that information.. like he had wanted to break down abt it the same way that kano did but he didnt.. the same way that kano would keep a strong front in front of him and kido when they were kids, seto now returns the favor years later..
^seto quotes from kano's breakdown scene in mca IDK if seto also says this in the novels. im not gonna check im so sleepy and i had these screenshots on hand already LOL. but yeah kano tried to shoulder everything when they were younger AND NOW SETO SHOULDERS EVERYTHING BY HIMSELF WHEN THEYRE OLDER....
