Who died and made you Nightwing?

This episode literally made me cry 😭.

"No one's disgusted, or laughing, or making fun of me. No one but me."

Euini as a character currently embodies so much low self worth, shame, and a lack of confidence. These are such strong and debilitating emotions that are so easily relatable. It's really hard to witness him wearing self-hatred so blatantly because, again, these lower emotions are ones we all experience at different points in life to varying degrees. It's easy to see yourself in his shoes.

I also find Richeh's conviction to be relatable and so important as well. Her conviction of nonconformity, creativity, and self-trust is admirable, and I love that she was able to help push Euini into making his path work for him through his own means.

This episode did a great job of highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of these characters, and I like that we got to see the differences in each of them, especially when Agott said that she would become a better version of herself because she could never love an inferior version.

Euini needs support to move forward into being a more confident version of himself while Agott forces herself into being better because the alternative is unthinkable to her. She won't allow herself to be perceived as what she deems as less. I like that it shows how people's self imposed burdens and motivations are different. Some people force greatness upon themselves while others grow into it more naturally.
