I merely am looking for someone who will watch over him. But will not add anymore wounds than necessary. Someone who will be all right with asking him difficult and uncomfortable questions on his feelings and thoughts so that he can think about them himself. He has spent a lot of time thinking of what he should do. But he has spent little time thinking of who he wants to be. I would rather he not be coddled because it seems he gets that enough. Coddling does not help a person feel comforted; it only silences their wish to cry out. Because how can they possibly scream when they're surrounded by love?
Because I do not understand her. And your views on those younger than you has been shown to be neglectful. Furthermore... She does not even know this is what either one of us is thinking. She does have her own children. I don't know if she's even met Shouto. And if she has and has not stepped in yet, she does not want to at all. You remember and forget -- she has her own family; her own blood to watch over.
you know you should probably stop thinking so highly of your own opinion and assessment if we're going to get literally anywhere with this because you keep being really fucking wrong and that's just gonna get in the way
and that nasty habit of throwing whatever you think my flaws are at me instead of acknowledging what i said about your bullshit and how that's going to be a giant pain in the ass seriously?
it's not an opinion it's a loophole in your proposal
you'll leave and disappear into the wilderness to become one with the insects that are more your speed whenever you find someone to take care of sho you need to understand this person in order to let him go but your understandings of people are shit because you're kind of a twisted fucker with no room for forgiveness or imperfection so there's a chance that there's never going to be anyone good enough for you
set some objective criteria that isn't based on your fantasies of ~*understanding people*~ and then we'll talk about who matches up
The imperfections have to be reasonable. If Shouto's life is spared because Elda allows someone else to die to save him, that sort of situation would make both of us regret leaving her with him. And her regret having thought she had decided to watch over him.
[ Though, he realizes the thought also amuses him. ]
see the thing is that's an imperfection you made up assuming worst case scenario of people is fine if you're not judging the worst case scenario as the only evidence of their rationality and potential so shut up about the elda thing for a while
also i don't trust your sense of morals make it more objective what do you want on the list "has never killed a man"?
My therapist told me I would never live a normal life. I agreed with that. Now that we're both uncomfortable with that topic. Let's never speak of it, again.
Non-violent. Drinking may be fine, but no reason to be alcoholic to avoid the truth of the matter. I suppose smoking is acceptable. Only killing yourself with that one.

And your views on those younger than you has been shown to be neglectful.
Furthermore...
She does not even know this is what either one of us is thinking.
She does have her own children.
I don't know if she's even met Shouto.
And if she has and has not stepped in yet, she does not want to at all.
You remember and forget -- she has her own family; her own blood to watch over.
So, I'll keep monitoring the situation.

But will he be happy about it?
Anyway, objectively, it should be someone a little less morally ambiguous.
