rereading pandora hearts

[ID: Vincent gently hugs Gilbert, one hand on his back and the other on Gil's head. Gil is embarrassed and a bit sad, Vincent has a warm smile. Everything is in warm yellow and dark blue tones, there are few warm yellow stars. End ID]
Also on the subject of Mochijun and master/servant relationships, I remember seeing MDZS takes a few times that draw on the idea that Jiang Cheng wanting Wei Wuxian to be his right hand man (and therefore arguably subservient) their whole lives means he looked down on him, and I just. I read Pandora Hearts at a formative age and fictional master/servant relationships have been irreparably romanticized in my brain forever now. Sorry if the same thing didn't happen to you.
Even if Wei Wuxian did end up as Jiang Cheng's right hand man and/or servant, I know it would've turned into a "you work for me, so that means it's my job to protect and be devoted to you" type deal. A mutual obsessive devotion in which the power dynamics have become a bizarre web. Or at least that's what JC dreamt of. You read enough Mochijun manga at age 14/15 and those dynamics just come naturally to you.
Ok, ok, I know there is a big possibility that Vincent may be irredeemably evil, maybe he killed his family and commit other vile acts or something, I have no idea, I'm not that far yet, but it's kinda heartbreaking how happy he is to finally see his brother, when Gilbert is here only to use the Nightray family to get Oz back
Is it even genuine or am I just falling for his manipulation? Idc, when I see a (presumably) bad character my brain immediately starts to sympathize with them, I don't make the rules.
