TEXTS FROM NEO-TOKYO

Hm hi so here’s a lil Akira character analysis thing i’ve been working on for like ever…not sure what inspired this, it just happened and then kept happening. 

It’s pretty disjointed and like a very, very vague character analysis of the growth (and death) of Kaneda and Tetsuo’s relationship, written out as best as i could given my creative desire to make this as confusing as possible lmao. enjoy ! 

TW: mention of suicide

Kid’s are mean.

Kaneda’s known that from the start. It’s in their blood, in their gap toothed smiles, and grubby hands. It’s why they have snotty noses and their voices are so high pitched. They’re mean in ways they have yet to grow out of.

(they’re mean in ways they won’t grow out of)

Kids are mean without reason to be so because they have all the reason in the world to be so.

Kaneda knows that.

Tetsuo does not.
