Isagi and Reo really did have this heavy aura over them in this chapter which is understandable considering that they're the most affected characters by Nagi's elimination in the previous chapter.

Will this open for a meaningful interaction of them together once again in the future?

Chapter 90-92 of the manga is one of the most memorable chapters for me considering how their heart to heart talk with each other in the monitoring room had a positive impact with each other's characters. I'm hoping that we will get to see them talk once again in this arc.

i do find it very interesting how different the foxes and the trojans go about caring for and supporting each other. well, actually, i mostly find it interesting how differently people seem to feel about it, especially in regards to kevin's drinking problem.

the way kevin's clearly unhealthy relationship with alcohol doesn't get condemned or fixed in the original trilogy for example is something that many people in the fandom have been pretty upset and critical about for many years and jean's reaction to it seemed to have really moved people (though that in particular, imo, had at least as much to do with jean's very restricted and in itself unhealthy relationship to food and drinks as with him uniquely seeing and caring about kevin's substance abuse issues. like, yeah, he really, really cares about him, but i don't think he'd have been thaaat much less upset if kevin was coping by eating chips or something. but well, whatever).

but to me, that never really read as no one caring about kevin or thinking alcohol is the ideal way for him to regulate his emotions.

the whole premise of how wymack runs the foxes and how they treat each other is just very built around the idea that all these people have been through awful things and that the way they'll cope with that won't always be pretty. but as long as they cope at all, they'll be around for another day, and another, which'll buy them to actually get better.

which is how you get stuff like wymack, in good conscience, not only tolerating but at times even soliciting underage drinking. and looking past the harder drugs some of the team are doing. and it's how him and the team all accept that neil is definitely lying about pretty much everything but mostly just leave him be. and how they all agreed to let andrew get off his legally mandated medication during games even though that could have terrible consequences for all of them. and how matt's mom said "sure random eighteen year old calling me on the phone, do give my addict son speedballs, you seem to have a higher success rate at getting teenagers clean than me 👍" because they all view life less as you're either doing good or you doing bad, and more as you're either surviving whatever it takes to do so, or you don't, so who cares if you aren't coping in healthy or acceptable ways, as long as you are coping. (and then once they're ready to work on getting better, they do have a support system in place to help them get there)

meanwhile the trojans are mostly pretty normal and well adjusted, so they have a pretty clear idea of what a healthy person who's doing well looks like, and that's what they generally want for other people, especially those they care about. so when they see someone who's not doing well and not dealing with it in healthy ways they are very direct about it, sort of a "your behaviour is not healthy, stop doing it" thing. your eating habits are really restrictive? try eating different food anyways, it's really good, i prommy. you hurt yourself when you're upset? here's how to physically stop this from hurting. you get incredibly startled when you're touched unexpectedly? well, just let me try hugging you again. you drink to deal with your feelings? please don't, it's not good for you.

and obviously that's a lot more normal and straight forward than what the foxes are doing, and it's done with love and support. and a lot of fans find it very moving and beautiful and sweet. but i also know that i'm not the only person who was really put off by this and still finds it kinda disconcerting. to me it feels, especially in contrast to the foxes, who would largely find this sooo overbearing and rude and uncomfortable, kinda like strongarming someone into doing well, with (at least in the context of these specific books) shockingly little regard for personal boundaries.

my point isn't that one's better than the other or anything, i think both approaches are going to work differently well for different people and within the books it makes perfect sense why the different teams would act this way, and it's also perfectly understandable why some people really resonate with one approach and find the other irritating or unkind. it's simply some thoughts that have been rattling around in my head. building up to: nothing really. oh well

Why Andrew fits the role of Goalie so well

I think there is a reason why the players have the roles on the court that they do. For example Andrew plays goalie because he is always the one who swoops in last minute to help the foxes even if its too late. His role to the foxes is always to defend them both on or off the court he is always playing defense, however there is no one there to defend him. He is always too busy looking out for the foxes that no one is looking out for him. Neil calls him out on this but Andrew retaliates by saying no one can help him - he is confident in himself that he can watch his own back without any outside interference. He learnt that no one will be there for him so he will do anything necessary to protect himself or others.

He became a "monster" for doing whatever it takes to protect those around him without caring about himself or the consequences. The reason Andrew got put on the medication was because he beat the shit out of the people attacking Nicky in the year before "The Foxhole Court" takes place. He also protected Aaron with his biological mums "accident". Aaron never asked him to help him in that extreme way but Andrew never regrets what he did. He always tells people that "She had it coming" he had only known Aaron for a few months before the "accident" but that didn't matter even is he treated Aaron like he didn't exist he still cared so deeply for him he would do whatever it took to protect him for good. He even signed with the foxes just to get Aaron through medical school even though he had no interest in university or college sports or even becoming court. (he says this in the extra content) If Andrew had actually cared about Exy he would of joined Kevin on the Raven team (thank God he didn't) as that would of been his best chance of success but instead he joined with the foxes to get Aaron and Nicky on the team as well so they had a secure future and so he could protect them.

Andrew always seems aloof and at the beginning Neil thinks he doesn't care what happens but throughout the AFTG trilogy and also in the newer books TSC and TGR we see that he will do whatever is necessary to protect them.

I know in the books it says the reason Andrew plays goalie is because the officers at juvie were worried he would hurt someone but I think the reason he fits the role of goalie so well and is a amazing goalie that even Kevin thinks he is worthy of being court is because he plays goalie for everyone on and off the court. He cares so deeply for them even though he acts disinterested in everything they do.

(idk if this has been mentioned before it was just a random thought I had lol)
