Raymon has been starving for four days… but Winter has also been starving in the same way. Winter is a psychiatric patient, and while this doesn’t justify his crime, it explains the roots of his personality disorder. Winter is cruel because his perception isn’t normal—he harms both the person he loves and himself, and sees that as love due to a dynamic of family’s domestic violence. It seems Raymon met Winter when Winter was just a teenager. I initially thought they met as children, but oh well. I think the next chapter will be a flashback from Winter’s perspective, explaining why he’s so obsessed with Raymon. Is Raymon, a careless and selfish person, going to pay the price for being kind to a mentally unstable child? This is a tragedy bordering on the absurd.
