I really loved the dynamic between Niragi, Chishiya, and Arisu especially since I always find it fascinating to observe how people who come from similar backgrounds can find themselves led astray to entirely different paths than one another.

First, you have Niragi who was bullied during his adolescence (also he probably didn't have that good of a home life considering the fact that the bullying persisted his entire life and no one ever stepped in to stop it or get him help). Because of this, upon arriving to the Borderlands, he chooses to lead a life of malice and cruelty with no regard for the lives of others since he believes: "No one cared about me so I'm going to be a menace to humanity."

Then you have Chishiya who was emotionally neglected by his parents and lived a life void of the love and care that are essential for full human potential. His parents value him for performance rather than him as their son, as a human being, and even then, he isn't given affection despite the fact that he worked hard to get in the medical field like his father, hoping to achieve the approval and affection that he's lacked of his entire life. Due to this, he leads a life void of sympathy and compassion for others since he believes: "No one cared about me so I'm not going to care about anyone."

Finally, you have Arisu who was verbally and emotionally abused by his father his entire life. He too has lived a life void of affection and filled with harm at the hands of someone who should have been there for him and nourished him. However, it's obvious that his outcome of a character greatly contrasted that of both Niragi and Chishiya. He has chosen a path of benevolence despite the fact that benevolence is something he himself is more foreign to than others. Because of the lack of kindness in his own life he believes: "No one cared about me so I'm going to care about everyone."

Niragi represents the cruelty that can emit from trauma.

Chishiya represents the indifference that can emit from trauma.

Arisu represents the leniency that can emit from trauma.

All three of their characters represent a greater truth and that truth is that regardless of what we have endured, we always have the ability to choose how our roles as humans cultivate. By being maleficent or apathetic, not much change can ever be brought forward for oneself or the world around them, but by being soft-hearted and caring in spite of the wickedness bestowed upon your experience as a human being, an improved quality of life is possible.

Arisu is evidence of this because if it had not been for his strength and courage to be kind when everything he had gone through told him not to be, he and nearly everyone else he had met in the Borderlands would have most likely died.

i think about this a lot

I would just like to take a second to thank every single fanfiction writer who’s ever published a fic. In the last 3 weeks, I’ve read over 890,000 words of fanfiction while in quarantine. I know legally, fanfiction writers are not considered “essential” but let me tell you: they are essential to me. Essential to my sanity, my wellbeing, my happiness. Fic gives me so much joy and such a love for the world and the people in it, and fic writers don’t ask for anything in return, except occasional engagement. So from the bottom of my heart: thank you fic writers. Thank you for keeping me company during this time of isolation. Thank you for writing stories that give me hope and take my mind off of my anxiety. Thank you for making me laugh even when I don’t think it’s possible. Thank you for giving me something to be excited about when it feels like the world is falling apart around me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It’s been a month of Reggie tutoring you and you’re not sure how you have been able to keep it a secret this long. You were so sure your mother would have figured it out by now but apparently you’ve become a better liar. The sessions have gotten tolerable, more than just tolerable if you’re being honest. Instead of sitting across from each other, you sit next to each other, with either one leaning over the other’s shoulder. There are no awkward lapses in conversation anymore, and for once you are able to be fully yourself. You’ve found yourself looking forward to tutoring days. 

However, you are not looking forward to today. 

Today you get back the calculus test you took on Friday and you have been anxious all weekend because of it. You know you’ve been improving and you are actually understanding the concepts, but that is because Reggie is always there, guiding you through the work and ready to answer any of your questions. You sadly could not have Reggie sitting next to you, providing some much needed comfort during the test. 

You find yourself dreading your last period more than usual and once it arrives, you cross your fingers and close your eyes. When the paper gets set down in front of you, you take a deep breath and open them.
