I'm sorry but something about the idea that Mag had used that exactly same story on other children he used on Nureyev. That Nureyev wasn't Mag's first, that he was just one that believed him. Somehow it makes me feel worse that other children knew that Mag had used the same lie before. Augh!!

#i dont really think that mag was such a cartoon villain as some people seem to think #i think he just was a very strong believer in the 'end justifies the means' kind of a thought #a hard utilitarian who was probably running out of allies. and like most of these kids died anyway they might as well die for a cause #IT IS HORRIBLE ISNT IT that this was like. planned. he didnt randomly run into nureyev and save him.. #.. and come up with the scheme then. no. he planned and he tried it multiple times on any child he came acros #SORRY my tags make no sense i'm just reeling from that one throwaway line #nureyev wasnt special in anything except he was the one who fell for it #makes you wonder if nureyrv was the only one or if there was. a line of dead children before him #penumbra #my post
