I know he's a villain but he really needs a hug
Did I get it right? The man probably lived on Index's turf and had to follow priscrips in exchange for protection, was chosen by one to become a Proxy while not having an option to decline since it would put him and/or his family in danger. Then was forced to watch his wife and daughter die, moved to the House of Spiders and was given a mission to raise another child.
And all that for - after many years - to recieve a prescript to say goodbye to whatever he build and healed.
The tragedy of his character, man. There was no choice from the start and now he's not just a shell of a person, he's an aching void. I would love to see him distort to let this all grief out but I guess he's too empty even for that.
I also love the fact that he did try to communicate his thoughts to Yoshihide, she was too young to understand of course, but at least we see his inner side - the one in need to be understood, the one who's afraid to say too much and the one who still wants to share his expirience to save another soul from the torment he'd been through.
