do you ever think about Tsubaki Sumishiro. how she's from Japan and was shipped off to Koryo by her father because she turned out to be an Aberrant. removed from her country, her home, any family and friends she might've had, by her own father. over something she couldn't control. because he presumably valued his reputation as a politician more than his daughter. how he decided that having her around would have been shameful. do you think about how Aberrants aren't allowed to travel internationally. how Tsubaki is now stuck in Koryo and may very well never see her home again. how this treatment seems to have affected her self-esteem. how she apologises for her existence, for "never knowing the right things to say." how despite all this, she's so kind. she calls the rest of Cell 3 her "friends." that isn't a commonly used word in this story. she believes that they don't belong here, that they don't deserve to suffer. i doubt she's just as kind to herself
