Good chapters!! Well from Holan discussion I have some points: They are not able to live their lives because of Traumerei. In our perspective of world if someone is in a toxic relationship or "daddy issues" corroding their lives we are able to step away and build our own self-steem and move on our lives, but they can't. Traumerei made sure that they are just tools and can never leave his grasp, so this kind of moments when they explode and shot back to traum trying to get away from him is irrational by nature but is understandable in a psychological perspective. They know that they can't flee from Traumerei but their minds are in a state of doing something for their freedom even if it is irrational and meaningless. Plus there is afactor that in the Tower they live a damn long life. So imagine being trapped in this toxic situation for centuries... Anyway I think in our outside perspective can be seen this kind of plot excessive because of the repetition (Kirin/Holan) but in my opinion is completely understandable.
I greatly appreciate this perspective! It’s the reason why I love discussing things with people because I clearly didn’t see it from that viewpoint at all and it makes a ton of sense!
I kinda get Holan long rant, he was more upset not because of daddy issues or as a pawn but at the fact that, as he said, he at least felt that his life has a meaning as a pawn, however when the war started Holan realized that Traum doesnt even see them as pawn, so for Holan it was like losing the only reason he had for giving meaning to his life. I like how SIU explained to us the reason why Holan was the only one who can command as he said "no long existing shinhue and without a bowl/tank", because the shinhue were artificial and he himself is the bowl/tank. Also its cool that the way Traum used Holan as a host is similar to how Ren used his parasites to control different shinhue as hosts. Holan: crying his heart out in his speech Traumerei: "So in summary..."😑 Bro really was like: so when we cut out all that yapping, these are the main points NGL so far Traum lowkey is a really funny guy, he has so many comedic moments when he doesnt even try to be funny. I think the most important part of the chess game is that it was approved by the Floor Admin, so it should hold at least a little meaning for FHs. Its also interesting how Traum was still played the game and was going for a chess piece until Gustang said "wake up, my friend, our game is over"
Chapter(s) Report: -Traumerei continues the trend of refusing to take accountability for his actions and making it a problem for everyone else. -Reject Reality, Embrace Delusion. -Traumerei's belief is the antithesis of Gustang's, who's all about the truth and correcting history. Traumerei doesn't care about the truth, the facts, history, etc. He controls the narrative and nobody can say otherwise. -Holan threw a temper tantrum and Traumerei was unfazed by it. He proceeded to destroy Holan's entire life. -Gustang took a page out of Will Smith's handbook and slapped Traumerei. Holan has to be the character with the worst treatment. He was a prodigy among his family, the leader of the Hatchlings, and was even promoted to being Traumerei's Guard at the Nest. Life was looking good for him... Until he lost to Bam in the Nest, watched Pudidy and Perseus get brutally murdered, cursed by Gustang, Candidy and Meier were tortured(ch 552), lives in constant agony due to Gustang's curse, proceeded to be one shot by Bam in the Hotel, Traumerei lambasted him and tried to rip out his tongue, got captured by Bellrire and forced to partake in the game, tried and failed to get his revenge against Traumerei, learned he's a freak science experiment, lost his free will and turned into a chimera type creature, and Gustang blew him up. At this point I'm wondering if SIU doesn't like Holan. Does he have something against Erling Braut Haaland, who Holan is named after?
Good chapters!!
