#I AM SOOOOO 😵‍💫 NORMALLLLL 🤪 ABOUT THIS GAMEEEEEE 🤡

[alethiometry]

basim mentoring hytham and feeling something akin to fatherly pride at how far he's come in acv last chapter

hytham either stating or implying that basim is somewhat of a distant/hands-off/aloof mentor

the implication that basim may have very intentionally given hytham this space to grow and come into his own as a result of having a much more controlling mentor in roshan and not wanting to embody that type of leadership in his own mentees

not that roshan was necessarily in the wrong (god forbid women get a little micromanage-y at times 🙄 smh) but at the end of the day what is parenting if not doing your best to steer the next generation away from the traumas you experienced in your own growth and development, even if it means that sometimes you might overcorrect a little too hard in the opposite direction
