Okay so the new MP100 book came out....

And we learn that:

Reigen’s father is a local politician/elected government official. Reigen’s mother is a homemaker Reigen’s sister is a bank clerk.

If his father is an elected official, image would be really important to him. It recontextualizes the seperation arc, because if Reigen was all over the news. He must have brought a lot of scandle to his family. 

His mom scripted an apology for him because he’s the son of a public figure.

It makes sense now that he held a press conference to address the allegations, instead of say, releasing a statement online. 

Reigen would have grown up watching his father maintain one face for his voters and another for his family.

It makes sense now that he’s great at debate and managing situations with words, because he would have grown up in a family where choosing your words carefully was an essential skill, having watched his father, campaign, debate other candidates, give press releases….etc

Everything makes sense now, why he is the way he is. Why he feels compelled to make a name for himself. Why taking on facades comes so naturally to him. All his inadequacies……
