#tbh the amount i relate to laios is slightly distressing

[elkian]

Finally reading Dungeon Meshi proper and like, I fully acknowledged that Laios was Mega Autistic before even getting here but wow

I think my favorite example tbh is when a former party member is waling on him and shouting grievances and Laios starts punching back BUT it is incredibly obvious that he isn't coming at this fistfight from the same emotional angle at all. His expression is one shade off from 8> the whole time. It's like he got punched in the face and realized Sureau was gonna keep going and was like "oh, this is how we're interacting now? Okay, I'll do my best!" I love him.
