like both of johnny/dally have been abused and/or neglected. as a result dally closed himself off, like andrew, and both of them are viewed as violent/aggressive. johnny being more anxious and still wanting his abusers attention/care, like kevin with his anxiety and how he still loved riko despite it all. also reminds me of the quote “He clung to Riko the way a weaker power clings to a stronger, needing some sort of support and stability to rebuild his broken life around, and although he feared Riko’s cruelty he didn’t understand at the time how wrong and unfair it was. It was just life, as he knew it, as he’d know it for the next many years.”

and the scene where dally, who others see as selfish/uncaring towards others, goes into the fire to save johnny. like how protective over kevin andrew is. paired with the quote “johnny was the only thing dally loved” (also reminds me of the “I was the first person who ever looked at Andrew and told him he was worth something.”) and how no one else rlly understands what is up with kandrew
