for injae, i’d love to explore the slow, deeply uncomfortable process of human connection—especially after what he’s done. right now, he’s someone completely ruled by isolation, secrecy, and the unbearable weight of guilt. he doesn’t trust others, and even worse, doesn’t believe he deserves to be known. but i think there’s something deeply compelling about watching that kind of character be seen. maybe not forgiven, maybe not redeemed, but understood, even a little. i’d love for him to get close to someone—not in a romantic way necessarily (though it could be interesting), but just to see how it would break down his walls or even push him to more extremes.

Azrael recently was rid of his greatest fear. For some people their greatest fear is irrational or a lingering effect of something that scared them once, Azrael’s greatest fear wait for him each day when he returned the The Academy both as a student and a trainer. Even as a full grown man, Azrael was terrified of his father until the day Azrael’s father died.
