Arlong Park parallels

Sad extra: even Bell-mère and Corazon's deaths look similar

Why do you crush my heart like this? I had just managed to forget the sadness ;_;

Good points about Doffy wanting to distance himself from Rosinante, although I'm not so sure if that's so much about acknowledging that he murdered his own brother - he does says something like "Why do I have to kill my family again", after all, so on some level he's acknowledging his deed.

It might be more of a subconscious thing? Consciously he's all "Woe is me, I have to kill my brother" (and deflecting the blame at the same time, as abusers do - he is choosing to kill Rosinante, Rosinante isn't forcing him to do anything), but subconsciously he might be more divided on the matter?

I’m sad all over again

And while reading it through this time I...do kind of understand where Law got the belief that Corazon wanted him to do what he couldn’t in taking Doflamingo down (since Cora basically admitted it himself that his initial thought on hearing Law’s full name was that), his feelings had obviously shifted by the end and the only thing he wanted in those final moments was to know that Law could live his own life the way he wanted to.
