#and I do prefer our fandom versions of Enzo prior to this ngl

[guardian-angle22]

Enzo doesn't even ask TK if he wants to take care of Jonah. His mind immediately goes to sending him away to a boarding school in Switzerland. Where he'll be away from his big brother. I want to like Enzo but it's kind of hard.

[reference to this spoiler clip]

To be fair to Enzo in this moment, he’s trying to provide for his son in the best way he knows how to and that’s in the way that was demonstrated to him as a child (since he says he went to this same school).

Yes, Jonah would be away from his big brother. but how is that different from how it was before? Prior to now it’s not as though Jonah has had much of a physical presence in TK’s life - he was always away from his brother. I don’t think Enzo would be thinking of that as a factor.

If anything I think something to focus on here, especially if you’re trying to be empathetic towards Enzo as a character, is how far away Jonah would be from his father. Enzo is potentially looking at many years locked behind bars and he’s making plans that would mean he wouldn’t get to have visits with his child while in prison. I’m sure that’s not a choice he’s making lightly, because that thought is probably devastating to him as a parent. But he’s making that sacrifice because he thinks he’s doing what’s best for Jonah.

I can’t wait to see the rest of this conversation, and any others they may have, because even from that one line “who is gonna hug him?” we can see that while Enzo is thinking of how he’s going to provide for Jonah financially, TK immediately thinks of how Jonah is going to be cared for emotionally. and that’s so very TK.
