Hong Lu has shown clear care for his sister since they were little children, only distancing himself after the immense trauma.
And pulling form IDs is the best way to provide examples for a sinner‘s character. Firefist is also not the only example of gregor‘s immense care for „siblings“
And queecliff is important to the discussion as it along with middle Don and Sinclair show that middle IDs are assigned to characters whose legal family has a major role in their stories and how these affect their allegiance to the middle in mirror worlds where they end up joining (presumably meursault too but his canto hasn’t arrived yet so we can’t say for sure)
As such we know for a fact that heathcliff would not be loyal to the middle which is why giving him the ID for the character who is the most loyal to the middle out of every character we see on screen with middle allegiance past and present (including Tanya) is completely backwards
And that is explicitly BECAUSE of how poor heathcliff‘s relationship with his adoptive family is ! To the point that the closest person there that he has is nelly (who also ends up betraying him)
Along with the character assignment being backwards, it also takes away the opportunity for an actually deserving character to get the ID. Who are characters whose family, specifically siblings, play an important role in their story ? Hong Lu and Gregor, who both clearly care about their siblings in most but the most extreme cases (cough lord hong Lu cough), no matter what you may falsely claim about hong Lu
And even if we say lord hong Lu disqualified him there’s no such case for Gregor ! Who in every Id that mentions family is incredibly loyal to the point it harms himself ! Curiambro. Linton. Firefist. Even the vermin emperor who is the monarch of a colony of roaches can play into this !
And yes Ricardo most definitely does care for his siblings beyond what the middle asks of him ! Otherwise he wouldn’t be running around in the middle of a swarm of sweepers trying to keep them off of his little siblings while also reassuring and praising said siblings to keep them calm !
And unless (and even sorta if) you’re terrible at differentiating between serious and unserious statements. Boiling down my reasoning for Gregor to „he has an injured arm at some point“ is some incredibly bad faith argumentation ! As the statement itself was clearly unserious (for its absurdity) while it also serves to explain how Ricardo still fits for Gregor’s big ID quirk
And your handwavey „you’re entitled to your opinion“ only serves to try and camouflage your projection of me having a „narrow POV“ when my points (that weren’t presented entirely in that post for brevity’s sake though you treat it as such) span the entirety of several character‘s appearances. While you make false claims about characters (Hong Lu) and try to disregard important context (the other IDs) in an attempt to make a narrow definition in which heathcliff sorta but not really fits for Ricardo‘s ID
Contrary to Project Moon previously clearly showing us that heathcliff would inevitably be disloyal to the middle in a mirror world, they gave him the ID of the most important to Limbus‘ overall story and loyal to the faction character we‘ve seen thus far from the middle. While also shafting much more deserving candidates. For the purposes of some cheap fanservice
