i like my adult media to have complex, adult characters "that character is irredeemable now because [insert moral failing here]" have you ever made a bad decision? have you ever hurt anyone? have you ever made a mistake? are YOU irredeemable? are YOU not worthy of atonement? what about love?

I just noticed that Yor squeezes Loid's hand so hard that his bones are making noises and Loid just takes it like a champ 😭
