I really like how Cale says Raon must have learned a lot from Eruhaben and Ron and is proud about it, but sweetie he has learn most from you he literally thinks and says a lot like Cale and this dumdass can't see that he is the parental figure.
Then what does he think he is doing? Being a chill rich uncle? No sir they are you kids like it or not they take you as a role model to learn of and not repeat your self-sacrifice charade.
New readers tend to feel Cale's character is morally ambiguous because of how he refers to others and his actual actions but when you see what he actually does that definitely goes against his inner monologue is baffling how affectionate he is, like he is still morally Grey but there are lines he doesn't cross willingly or without remorse.
He commits a lot of war crimes actually, but they are always to protect and is not like he take the blame for the beginning of the war, he prepared for it so it would be one-sided but most of the time he defends rather than attack.
Or more accurately his actions through the series are reactions to others, he also disguise affection with responsibility a lot, like when Lock couldn't transform and Raon was undergoing his first growing fase he said something along the lines of "I'm the adult I have to protect them"
He gets attach easily and god forbids someone threat his family.
I think this is the panel that f's me up the most. How his face looked when Nanami is commenting on his last moments alive. What catches me off guard is how...raw his expressions look....
