ray and ayshe parallels make me soo unwell its insane. you have a girl who was raised by a demon that gave her nothing but unconditional love and a boy who was raised by a human that abused him and made his life miserable for 6 years. that volume 19 side scene that begins with ‘your father... was a good parent.’ ‘he was a monster, you know.’ ‘doesn’t matter.’ and ends with ‘my mother was human, but... to me, she was always a monster.’ and the fact that this is a conversation between two 13 year-olds. 

ayshe’s dad going ‘well, i’ll just think of her as one of the dogs.’ when he first takes ayshe home because he has no idea how to care for a human, but he does have dogs that he cares for and loves vs isabella, who has raised countless human children, calling ray a dog straight to his face as a way to dehumanize him, a subconscious reminder of just how little she values his life in the end. ayshe’s hatred of humans and refusal to speak to them sparked by the ones that murdered her father and her vow to get revenge vs ray referring to his suicide attempt as his ‘retaliation’ paired with the chilling, almost manic degree of excitement in his voice as he practically screams about how he is a human being. shirai what is your problem
