was talking to ford about this but i think like... the tendency people have to get really defensive over their personal interpretations of fiction ("everyone is wrong about this character" "i'm the only one allowed to talk about x/y/z") has much less to do with the potential for anyone to actually be "wrong" about fiction in a way that matters than it does with a search for understanding and recognition in other people. when i get frustrated by an interpretation of something i care about that feels wrong to me i am not really making a judgement on the truth of that statement or its worth to someone else, rather it is on a very basic level about feeling lonely. the discomfort in an interpretation that feels Wrong is often linked to a moment of "we have different life experiences" or "you don't see what i see" and then, "i wish somebody would see what i see!" as naturally follows.

thinking about the vaguely implied kaoru family trauma. kozue's hypersexuality and protectiveness over her brother and the way she projects onto the helpless baby birds and how mad she gets at the suggestion that they should be reunited with their parents and how she feels like her and miki are the only people in the world who matter. and miki's distrust of adults, specifically in the context of them saying they know what's best for you. what the fuck went on in that house because it sure as hell was more than just a divorce.
