Re: [Ed]
[considers...] I think it may just have been the catalyst for something he was teetering on the edge of for a long time.
I don't know if you noticed how he behaved as a child... The way he acted when he was grown was almost certainly a shield he believed he needed to protect himself. Our team only didn't want to push him because we didn't know whether or not he would have functioned without it.
Shiki had to fight him after he took that memory, but I'm glad he has gotten to this point.
