ok new thought. shuro was actually normal about falin until he saw her looking at a caterpillar one night, which he claims is the inciting incident. while at this point laios has not become openly Hungry about monsters, shuro has still been exposed to his monster interests (see him being forced to talk about monsters for 5 hours upon meeting laios). i think it's something that shuro struggles to understand much the same way kabru wonders how someone can be so enthusiastic about monsters. im not sure how open falin was about her interest in monsters, but seeing her that night reframed that interest in the typically weird and creepy as something that could be beautiful to him. it's interesting that This is the thing he latched onto after being stuck with a guy he just couldn't understand (sublimation????). what im saying is that i need him to make a similar connection with laios, either by seeing the similarity or having his own moment

#i think itd be interesting for him to realise how instrumental laios monster knowledge has been to their survival too #iirc kabru notes that what sets laios party apart from similarly experienced parties (ie his own) is his knowledge on monsters #i suppose for the most part thats all others incl. shuro would see it as. a particularly practical obsession #but again idk that he knows the extent to which it saved their asses lmao #i should like for kabru to bring it up in conversation to him and think of his reaction #<- UNLESS THIS ALREADY HAPPENED AND I FORGOT ANSHCHXHDHDH???????? #none of this is new info im just reframing it for myself i think LMAO
