i can’t recall when exactly i’d seen it, but there was this argument that some have said about mimiko and nanako: that they agreed with geto’s end-goal and wholeheartedly supported it.
but i’ve always been under the impression that they followed him because he was their savior, not necessarily because they wanted to enact revenge on non-sorcerers (though they would’ve had valid reason to dislike them). i saw their hatred towards non-sorcerers as something they learned from geto (or at least, it was exacerbated by geto), as well as their capacity to kill with no remorse.
but then i also remembered these panels.
“master geto’s story has come to an end.”
you would think that out of all of them, mimiko and nanako would be hellbent on continuing his legacy, to finish what he couldn’t. yes, perhaps the body should be laid to rest—but you would think that they’d share that same passion, a hatred that “runs in the family.”
if anything, though, these panels tell me that geto was and had always been the most important thing to them. following his ideals was just a means to closer proximity to him. they loved him—if one day he decided to stop in his tracks and end his campaign to annihilate, they would’ve followed along, too. happily, no questions asked. because they loved him, not his ideals. because they loved him, not the idea of revenge. they needed him to show them, to learn. “a moral compass.”
they were children who wanted more than anything to be seen by their father.
of course, we’ll have to fill in the blanks a little. humor me: i’m sure that as the closest people to him in their found-family, mimiko and nanako had first-hand accounts of his headspace, or at least they’d see the cracks in his facade during the times he’d accidentally let his guard down, from fatigue or overthink. witnessing his weakness, his time of vulnerability, must’ve made them feel as if they were somewhat responsible for his mental state. i know children can get like that sometimes.
