god the fourth episode of bokura no micro na shuumatsu y’all
ritsu making himself the villain in masumi’s (& yuma’s) narrative just so that masumi didn’t have to make the choice himself to leave his mother to die
masumi admitting the fact that he was more upset about not being upset about his mother dying, about not wanting to save her, than the idea of her actual death
& ritsu letting him know that it was okay to feel that way. that it wasn’t his fault regardless. that he was blameless for what he was subjected to as a child & he was blameless now, & if masumi refused to believe that himself, then ritsu would bear the crown of thorns for him
he’d let himself become the villain all over again, just to spare masumi this pain
#bokura no micro na shuumatsu#the end of the world with you#i’m not going to deny that these characters are beyond fucked up#but also#as someone who grew up very similarly to masumi & has struggled w the same feelings my whole life#wow wow wow wow this ep hit hard#also literally just BIG props to this show for subverting the idea that abusive parents deserve your forgiveness no matter the circumstances#just because they’re your parents#i don’t think i’ve ever seen a show where they’ve tackled that idea in such a raw way#& obviously the conclusion this show takes is much darker than what most people will go through but#the same sentiment stands
