Aright something doesn’t add up.
An angsty thought has been plaguing me and i must share
Iruma is baby
He has baby skin
I calm bs on that
Like ma boi has been living in a damn jungle since he was 1. How come there aren’t any callouses on his hands? (Very small detail so whatev) how come he doesn’t have any burn scars from tinkering with appliances to see what he could get from them?? There are No scars at all! When the manga showed us 5 year old iruma running from a bear. From fucking mafia!!!
How come there are no trauma, no irrational phobias, no sound that suddenly triggers his fight or flight reaction??
The only thing we see is his abandonment issues, but we dont see what other issues him being abandoned gave him. Issues from having to hunt and compete with other predators and stealing from the mafia (what even lead to that???) Could have given him
There’s no way the only thing iruma got from his life is abandonment issues (which is a very serious thing, but he’s slowly healing, slowly feeling secure, that his family and friends won’t just leave him)
Anyway what spurred this is
What if when balam sensei was worried about iruma’s wings what he sww under his shirt isn’t ali-san’s hand looking like wings, but very bad scars that lead the teachers to think why he doesn’t have wings is due to a very bad accident
Do you think they’d start paying more attention to him? To the people in his life?
Would some start thinking that maybe sullivan did something? That iruma isn’t safe with him?
Or would they start thinking about iruma’s parents? Those mysterious figures that should be in iruma’s life, but for some reason iruma lives with his grandpa, not his parents. He never mentions his parents at all, always talking about opera or sullivan
Would anyone tell kalego about iruma’s wings? Or would kalego find out on his own?
Will the teachers tell sullivan and opera? Or would some oppose to that in case they were the ones behind these scars?
Sullivan and opera love iruma very much, so why keep him hidden for 14 years?
Update: i checked out two ao3 fics about iruma having scars on his back called “grounded ” and “forever grounded” and they are amazing
Definitely encouraging people to see them for wome premium quality angst
