you said cirrus didn't communicate? have we been reading the same last few chapters? bc they've ALL been about cirrus complaining to skylar about his issues and how he feels and how he needs reassurance, only for skylar to constantly invalidate him, avoid him even outside of school, and never actually give him reassurance or even apologise for the way skylar's acting towards him.
you said "bringing up his trauma" as if cirrus knew? he has no idea about anything in skylar's life. literally nothing except that he has a mom and a sister. that's bc skylar refuses to share or open up, which we know why, but cirrus doesn't and it's horrible you think cirrus deserved skylar's reaction bc he did not know he was bringing up skylar's trauma.
cirrus does not think he's gonna stay with skylar by suffocating him. are you educated on mental illness and ptsd? cirrus was begging for any kind of communication or reassurance from skylar when he saw he was about to leave. cirrus is traumatized and thinks he's gonna be abandoned again by skylar, the only person he has in his life rn btw.
and i'm not excusing cirrus's action, what he did blocking chan-il was wrong and immature. however, the whole point of this fight is that they BOTH led each other to this breaking point, except cirrus didn't know skylar's trauma meanwhile skylar did and STILL physically beat him...
ok, but like, cirrus isn't dumb, he brought up middle school because he knew it would hurt skylar. he's mad obviously because skylar doesn't treat him that well, so he decided to hit it where it hurts. ofc this isn't a justification for skylar to punch the shit out of him, but he knew what he was doing, affirmed by the "i wanna be the best and worst person you know". atp they are both insane and need to get professional help and get away from each other.
Thank you. Cirrus has been expressing himself and opening up to Skylar whereas Skylar seems to distance himself (due to his trauma but Cirrus doesn’t know that and thinks it’s because Skylar prob doesn’t like him enough or something).
Sorry could you clarify what you mean by the middle school? It’s been a while so I don’t remember.
cirrus' trauma regarding his best friend tricking and bullying him for being gay and in love with him
oops, i meant skylar**
I thought Cirrus didn’t know about his trauma though?
he didn't, he was just assuming
cirrus wasn't bringing up middle school to make skylar hate him or piss him off? where was that even implied? cirrus would NOT risk pissing off the one person he has in his life who he's attached to and has feelings for, he was doing the exact opposite actually. he was begging for an explanation from skylar.
cirrus's entire reaction and everything he said when skylar was saying "let's break up" and was about to leave him, that was all cirrus panicking in fear and trying to get an explanation and reassurance from skylar. skylar yelled at him when cirrus once again got too close and loud at school. so literally from that context, cirrus started asking why are you always so paranoid did this happen before with the guy from that ripped up picture.
cirrus wanted an explanation, not purposely making skylar mad bc guess what? cirrus doesn't know anything about how bad skylar's trauma is. cirrus wouldn't even know if skylar would be hurt or mad or happy even when he brought up that picture bc again he does NOT know.
cirrus didn't know and was most definitely not tryna piss off skylar after skylar was literally breaking up with him? he was just begging for skylar to tell him any reason of why he hates being like this at school.
You are delusional, we prolly not reading the same comic.
the official translation made this scene make so much sense, the last thing cirrus needs is a relationship when his codependent and jealousy issues are up the roof
tbh i get skylar’s outrage like wym u blocking my only “friend” bc u feel jealous instead of communicating ur concerns with me? also clinging onto him then bringing up his trauma is diabolical.
everyone seems to think that cirrus was abandoned by the person he loved the most but to me it looks like cirrus thinks if he suffocated skyalr then they’ll be together forever
they both have issues but this scene just explained who they are, both of them need therapy lol
