#rene himself is like... more compassionate than the average doctor who 'treats' irregulars and attempts to be as 'decent' as he can be

also found a doodle of kryptos’ “suspiciously unmarried uncle” who i mentioned in my post yesterday. dont think he’s ever gonna show up in my fic proper, but he has been mentioned twice so far, and a few times in future chapters— he’s the one who sends andy birthday money

#rene is a character i think about a lot tbh even though he will never make a physical appearance in my fic #he's the only positive famliy figure andy has but he also like... never comes over and (understandably) spends as little time as possible #around his horrible father and horrible brother in law and less awful but still not very kind sister so he just avoids the entire family #so he also just... doesn't spend time with his nephew and doesn't realize just how much kryptos needs like. a nice family figure #he sends birthday money and is actually genuinely affectionate on the very rare instances andy sees him #but he's not even close to being a constant enough figure in his life for him to be an actual trusted adult #he's also a doctor who deals with irregularity so there's that distance because andy doesn't... particularly trust irregularity doctors! #rene himself is like... more compassionate than the average doctor who 'treats' irregulars and attempts to be as 'decent' as he can be #but that only really goes so far y'know. especially when you're still working within a horrible system #which rene very much is #and it's genuinely great for the occasional patient whose life he improves but he is also complicit in SO many horrible things #and kryptos is just.. aware of that so there's always been that bit of distance especially since he befriended bill #my art
