Because for me - it felt like the character had that same amount of depths explored in this fic like the previous fic; and it just adds onto the pile. Explored in different contexts, in different narrations. But the idea/certain headcanons stayed with me and is carried onto a different writing that has nothing to do with one another. I’m not sure if that makes sense - but think of the perpetual stew in some form of semblance.

And I think it’s one of the most charming thing about fanfiction. We’re all creating one character and at the same time our own version of said character; then those around you would take small pieces of Your version and make Their own.

Natsuki's willingness to fulfil his father's dream by offering himself to go to Al-Kamar. A place of possibly unimaginable horrors that Slur's team know too well. Assumingly Natsuki also knows whatever the individuals sent there were subjected to, then all that he was doing was so that he could spare his beloved younger brother from unspeakable pain or torture. As well as further trauma to a still-developing kid. Something that their deadbeat of a father fail to realise.. So young, so quiet & stoic, yet still so thoughtful, caring & sweet. I bet young Natsuki understands that Mafuyu is still young & hasn't had his own ambitions yet so I'm certain he's making way for his lil bro to enjoy his childhood more & be relieved from the burden that their dumb dad was abt to shoulder on the poor youngling. Honestly, Natsuki's actions in chap 145 is enough to reflect how much of a doting, protective & selfless big brother he is. Young Mafuyu may not have realised it when he was upset with his aniki, but Natsuki's actions are proof of it. I bet that bladed shoe was designed specially for him cuz Natsuki knows how much of a clean freak his lil bro is.

Meanwhile, Mafuyu deeply cares about Natsuki too in his own way. And he's also very supportive of his aniki's inventions, like he's the only one in the family to do so. On top of that, young Mafuyu even have faith in his aniki, he believes that Natsuki is capable of achieving his dream in future cuz he knows that Natsuki is talented & will be successful in his goal. And Mafuyu has a really big heart thou he was more reckless in his plan to save his brother. Young Mafuyu's main aim is to free Natsuki from their deadbeat father's unhealthy obsession so that his aniki can pursue his biggest dream. And Mafuyu's goal to free & help his aniki is so strong that he is willing to do whatever & by any means necessary. Even if that involves putting his own life on the line, so long as he can make sure that Natsuki achieves his ambition of becoming a professional weapons maker, then Mafuyu really thinks that all these efforts are worth it. What reckless selflessness!

How young Mafuyu is able to realise the important of supporting someone's dreams, or in his case right now is to see through that Natsuki can continue to pursue & achieve his dreams, that is beyond amazing & I tip my hat to him. A little kid versus a full-grown adult. Likewise with Natsuki -as an older brother, you should protect your younger sibling & that's what he does. Such brotherly love. PROTECT! These kids deserve only the best & also doting parents who would give the world to them, respect & support their goals to the ends of Earth.

It's like... its not that its bad looking necessarily. It's OFF. It's just lifeless. In the same sense an AI bot would be to talk to. Programmed to replicate something human.

Whumpee’s screams echo down the long hallway- far more intense, and far more desperate than caretaker has heard before. It takes everything in him not to bust through the swinging laboratory doors and make it all stop, but that would compromise his position, and in the end it would only lead to whunpee’s anguish being amplified. So caretaker clenches his fist and breathes in for a count of 5. He can keep up this charade- he’s been so disciplined thus far. It’ll only be a few more weeks tops before he can rescue whumpee and get the hell out of this hellish compound for good. He can hold on.

But god whatever whumper’s done to whumpee this time has to be so incredibly cruel. Caretaker’s seen whumpee grit their teeth through hours of intense electro shocks and beatings without so much as a grunt. Caretaker looks back at his computer, trying to ignore the strangled sounds as he organizes the data into near columns.

He’s jerked from his thoughts as the door to the control room slams open. Caretaker looks up in time to see whumper stroll through the door, a giant grin spreading across her shark-like features. But whumpee’s screams are still bounding around the tiled space, despite whumper’s presence in the control room rather than the lab.

“Whumper!” Caretaker says, startled. He plasters a smile on his face. “It sounds like you’re making good progress in there!” He nods his head toward the lab.

Whumper pulls off her gloves and tosses them in a wastebin. She’s beaming. “I’ve finally gotten past the first layer.” Her voice is smooth, self-satisfied.

“Can I ask…” caretaker pauses, knowing that it’s a risky question, but unable to keep it from slipping through his lips. “What was it that broke them?”

Whumper takes a deep breath and closes her eyes as if reliving her big advancement. She shakes her head wistfully. “I can’t believe it took me this long to figure it out, but nevertheless I’m a genius.” She looks at caretaker and winks. “I just left him on red”

She holds up the remote control in her hand with it’s dials painted from green to red, and caretaker’s heart plummets. No wonder whumpee’s screams sound so heart-wrenching. No one has ever endured red for longer than 5 minutes. Caretaker forces himself to grin back at whumper.

“Brilliant.”
