idk how to explain how perfectly hush encaptures "just because he speaks softly, does not mean he is kind."
i mean its very obvious isn't "kind" in the typical sense. from the beginning he has made no effort to hide how little regard he has for life. he has an unknown kill count but its easy to assume its more than enough to count him a serial killer.
the only reason many people forget that fact is because the story is told with doc as the listener and its very obvious that hush has become very attached to doc.
hush is well spoken and quiet and poetic and polite in certain terms of the word. but he is also cruel and goal driven to the extremes.
he only showed regret killing once and it was with vega and then even than it was only because of how ancient vega is. he's been confirmed to be the second ever formed demon and that was the only reason hush panicked after killing him. even before that he initially thought it was aligned with his purpose.
he's made it clear if necessary he would even kill avior, who he (also) has made clear that he cares about very much.
hush is super complex and i really do love it and i hate when people reduce him only to
a. clueless and bumbling
or
b. scary and murderous
because the interesting thing about him is that there is a healthy (or unhealthy!) combination of both. yes he has little regard for most things and is shown to be cruel if he thinks its required, but he is also shown to not understand even basic human things such as hugs or kisses!
his knowledge is very limited but very vast in other regards.
i got a bit off topic at some point i think but im thinking about hush today
