Yeah, that helps, it certainly helps that he gets it through his head that he's loved. But he also was fully ready to commit murder-suicide, I feel like that's not… that's not exactly fixed… I feel like the romance didn't fix that part… I feel like there's still something there that got swept under the rug…

And obviously, his Charming Book comes back with the same issue, but this time "it's the pipe's fault. magical pipe, not me!"

We see him use painting as an outlet in ES, which is a good start. Obviously I'm not expecting Rejet to send him to a therapist, but I feel like implementing different outlets for his pain obsession would've been a better direction than "I don't want to hurt you, I'm fixed! I lied! Okay, now I'm really fixed, I promise!"

An active choice to regulate his engagement in said pain obsession would've been a good sign that he's getting "more human", that he understands the consequences of his actions and wants to preserve this new human life.

That he might still like the idea of murder-suicide, but he understands that actually dying would make it impossible to have dinner with his girlfriend tomorrow. That, as appealing as breaking Ritsuka is in the moment, it'll stop being fun once she's a husk of a person. That, yes, getting beat up by angry random guys sounds appealing, but a broken bone doesn't heal as fast as it used to

Eh, maybe I'm expecting too much realism out of this. But I still feel that acknowledgment and an active choice on his part would've been a better direction than lying. And then not addressing that lying.

What possessed me to do that, I don’t know, but hey, now I have the complete set of those.

Finally

Is it just me who’s noticed in Urie’s drama CDs (at least the ones I’ve read translations of/listened to) whenever Lindo gets mentioned, Urie’s always kind of subtly trying to imply Ritsuka/the listener that Lindo’s kind of obsessive and that she should be questioning his behavior more? 

Like in his Charming Book CD, where he says “He is a little more devoted to his younger sister than normal people. I’d be happy if it really could end with “a little”” (translation from @tabooneko).

And in this Eversweet one (translation from @randomly-spicy-diamond), he’s like:

“You should think a little bit more seriously about just how scary your big brother is.”

“Uh, you know, in a normal household a big brother doesn’t keep an eye on his little sister 24/7″

And just flat out

“Your brother isn’t normal.”

Is it just me who’s noticed this trend? The other CD translations for the other boys that I’ve found don’t mention him nearly as much, except for Rem’s, but given they can’t stand each other that’s not a surprise, and even then it focuses more on their rivalry.
