I do love how despite Ilya being the one in active mental health treatment and having Romance Protagonist levels of insane trauma background Shane is 1000000% the crazier one between them. Like Ilyaβs done shockingly well considering and sure heβs got some abandonment issues and some insecurities but heβs basically very functional and aware of his triggers. Shane I think would actually do a murder suicide in the right circumstances. Not shitpost Shane like canon Shane
You can't tell me Shane wasn't plotting murder/suicide in his head after the whole "I can marry Svetlana" bit
