Can we talk about how Dylan George is presented as a piece of shit but ends up being the only one of the outies who truly treats his innie as an adult, taking into account their desires and feelings, and even sees them as a part of himself to admire and look up to? Can we talk about how Dylan George never paternalizes Dylan G like Mark Scout does with Mark S, nor does he treat him as a tool like Helena Eagan treats Helly R? Can we understand how Dylan George, despite everything that might bother him about his wife’s relationship with his innie, understands that his innie is attracted to her because, despite everything, his wife is his world and it makes sense to him that his innie would see her that way too, and admires his innie’s ability to be the person that, due to circumstances, he has stopped being? I mean, what a marvel Dylan George is. He basically gets it all. That “I would like you to stay alive because I think knowing you’re there makes me a better person, but you can choose whatever you want because I understand you are independent of me, and I have no right to decide for you, because even knowing you are part of me, I still see you as an individual and not as an extension” that represents his letter is pure brilliance. Mark Scout treats Mark S like a rebellious and ungrateful child, and Helena Eagan treats Helly R like a means, not even considering her a being with her own consciousness, but Dylan George treats Dylan G like a fucking person. Totally unexpected but wonderful.
