This scene with Legato, I have never really been able to understand if it meant anything beyond the scenario that was unfolding in the episode (Nicholas fighting Livio). But I think I have now.

Legato’s words somehow feels targeted to Knives specifically. “It has long been time to give up on your little brother. You must finally learn to accept reality.”

Those words just struck me. Knives is portrayed as the twin who’s more “mature” and not as soft-hearted as his little brother Vash. But if you really think about it he was the one who was the most childish between the two.

He never wanted to see beyond what humans had done to Tesla in fear of being betrayed again. He idealized humans far more than Vash did, Vash already accepted that humans aren’t perfect and there is good and bad but Knives had gotten his fear of humans from Rem. She was always worried about what would happen to them.

Knives also very childishly held onto the idea that all humans are bad, that they’re all the same and selfish and that they never look beyond their own nose. Up until he was killed, Knives wanted Vash’s gate. He died for it. The fight that ensued after Vash broke free from the tank was literally a fight between siblings, brothers. 

Knives was the one who was letting his emotional turmoil unleash and it portrays in how he desperately wanted that cube. His expressions during that fight looks down right like a child throwing a tantrum.

Vash bit him, like siblings do when they fight.

Knives also stubbornly never let Vash go, not truly. Sure they went separate ways for 150 years, but not really. Only distance wise. They’re on the same planet, Knives knew he had nowhere to go, he’ll always be within his reach. He learned Vash’s part to the duet, he plays it with such rigor it’s as if the song is the embodiment of how Knives just completely longs for Vash to be by his side again. He longs for Vash but refuses to accept that they will never see eye to eye.

It has long been time to give up on your little brother. You must finally learn to accept reality.

Me waking up from the best sleep I’ve ever experienced: Tristamp Knives isn’t obsessed with his brother btw like don’t miss the point. His love for his brother is honestly? An afterthought.

My honest reaction to doomed siblings:

“How could I ever forget?! That was the day we both lost our minds!”

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.
