assuming u read way past ch3 by now, but tldr is that ml has a soft spot for kids bc he took care of some orphans after defecting from the empire. treating zaki's body the way he did...well, his morals is screwed due to several factors and he has come to treat human lives as playthings for him to manipulate their souls to his pleasing, the flesh is just what houses the soul. he gets better but he objectively sees all living life as something for him to control
I like the backstory of our ML. A necromancer who, unlike many necromancers in other stories, is actually a good guy that respects and cherishes the lives of good innocent people, especially children. I like Zaki's hair and coat but the school girl uniform feels really lazy. The mangaka could've done something to spice up that character design. Also, I'm confused as to why in Ch 3 Takumi is confused as to why Shinomiya rescued the kids but also treated Zaki's body like a rag doll. Did he just up and forget that Zaki was trying to kill Shinomiya? It really isn't that much of a stretch for someone to have no consideration for their attempted killer but to also turn around and be concerned about young innocent lives possibly burning to death in a house fire. Like come on babes, what's not clicking..
