Ok, ok, but the way Simon misremembers this moment
and the way he says 'goodbye brain' right before this so it makes it seem like that was going to be his last thought
and and the way it's what gives him the final push he needs to finally summon golbetty

You asked me to teach you chess, and I've done that. It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing. Do you know why not?
Because it was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little and everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings and pawns.
I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else. I don't envy you the decisions you're going to have to make. And one day I'll be gone, and you'll have no one to talk to. But if you remember nothing else, please remember this:
Chess is just a game. Real people aren't pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them than to others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice.
The lesson is: Anyone who looks on the world as if it were a game of chess deserves to lose.

On a lighter note, the daycare moms probably think Kazuki is a divorcee with a bad relationship to his ex-wife. After coming under hard times because of his failing comedic careers and needing someone to help him care for his daughter he was whisked off his feet by Rei, the Oil Baron.

realising that seventeen wouldn't leave seungkwan alone and forced him to come to the winery was not them being clowns but in fact a strategic move to ensure he wasn't left alone shortly after returning from mental health leave was an absolutely devastating moment to get hit with right after watching minghao cover his face in tomato sauce

luke and percy parallels >>>
The only reason percy wasn’t like luke was because luke existed.
percy saw what luke did to everyone around him and immediately knew that it was wrong. he agreed with him, but not with the way he was doing it. that’s the whole point. then, after luke had betrayed his friends, percy was done with him, because loyalty, right? it’s his thing. but was he? i reread the last olympian recently and every interaction with “luke” consisted of percy feeling conflicted about fighting his friend.
it only made sense for a character like luke to be in this story. what would percy be without him?
