#that the walls noiz built up start to open up bit by bit. the sense of touch is like a methaphor or whatever

[leonleonhart]

i swear i've seen multiple posts talking about how noiz not having a sense of touch shouldn’t mean he had no sense of empathy a or whatever and like! it doesnt! clearly the boys biggest emotional hurdle is the childhood neglect and abuse he faced for being 'different'

noiz mostly got treated like a freak and unfeeling monster while growing up even though he’s a kid. while that doesn't one for one equal losing empathy/becoming cold hearted, it clearly impacted his ability to form personal relationships. even after he was finally able to start leaving his home he instead got used for his status and money furthering him into the idea that he was a 'thing' not a person.

i just think boiling his personality down to a 'lack of empathy' is getting it wrong
