#everyone else's pain inside WCKD can be softened by fixing the biggest problems in themselves

I've discovered the reason I've written so much comfort recently is because subconsciously I already knew just how fucking intense Minho's next few chapters will be holy fuck
#like I said in the tags of my previous post#Minho's main flaw in this part is his anger which has only gotten more destructive the longer he spent in WCKD#because he's not fighting them so he's bottling it all up#he knows what they'll do to him if he fights too so he really really can't#that makes him the only person that can't find a way to fix what hurts them most because out of everyone#Minho is completely out of control#anger management can't do much in this situation (someone has actually been teaching him) and Minho knows it#and knowing that only makes it all worse#I mean Minho definitely has a temper but the intensity with which he feels anger now is all WCKD's engineering to make it harder#for the group to last as a unit#as a team and as a family#WCKD is actively challenging them to see how long they'll hold out#everyone else's pain inside WCKD can be softened by fixing the biggest problems in themselves#but Minho's problem is 100% WCKD's doin#it's a flaw he WANTS to move past so desperately but as long as he's in WCKD he can't#but he's so terrified of fighting them it has nowhere else to go#everyone else's story in this part is the kind where through their trauma they also learn things about themselves#which is how stories work#but Minho's is just painfully realistic in the way that it's just trauma upon trauma and there is no lesson in it because everything#he needs to learn can only be taught by someone caring and patient enough to teach him out of genuine well. love basically#not romantic love in this context I'm specifically talking (found) family and a proper adult at that#Minho is the only character that genuinely cannot shed any of his defenses at all until he's in the Safe Haven
