#nier lars

Lars has such a single focused, and pessimistic, view on life that it comes as an honest surprise to him that a party is being held.

Lar’s stories are interesting because they also double as about Griff, seeing the character from the view of someone serving underneath him. Lars does not have a high opinion of Griff.

And he expected Griff to just give in and do whatever he wanted. To be a pushover. He sorely misunderstood the Captain and his philosophy in life.

We get to see Lars just break down and be pathetic. He fails to get his way, throws multiple tantrums and his fury is just impotent. He can’t touch Griff at all.

These words from Griff, and their impact on Lars, made me tear up reading them. This is Griff’s philosophy of patience and caution. This is what he’s really working towards when he retreats and brings his men to safety. When times are tough and you’re just getting tossed around. When everything seems hopeless, just remember, you made it through the year and I am so very, very proud of you for doing so.
