Merry Christmas Killer7, and here's to hoping you have a less stressful 2025!
I get what you mean, definitely, but people handle things differently. I had (perhaps still has) a lot of demons to deal with, had a pretty fucked up childhood and youth, actually very similar to the MC. I handled it pretty similar to MC, as well. I did have a bunch of regretful slip-ups but usually only when drunk or on drugs. MC don't do stupid shit like that and i'm guessing the reason he don't snap or slip-up is because he manages to stay strong and contain himself. I'm guessing he found meaning and purpose in his life, his new family, and it helps him to stay composed and levelheaded, avoiding said slip-ups. Just a guessI wish MC act less of a saint a bit. I get it, some get it worse, and all this big brother act, but he got pretty shitty life too. And he brush it off too easy. There is no way he grown some naive snowflake aka "Sandra"(don't get me wrong, BEST girl by MILE) with shitty dad and no one to look for him, and yes, he must wear tough face for his family to make them happy. But he show no signs of inner demons he couldn't not have. He's young man who barely grasp what is to be adult and recent suicidal phase, not a veteran psychologist with bulwark of willpower and self-countrol. Don't get me wrong, i like MC, admire his work of caring and curing, just wish he show more his true feelings, even if as regretful slip-ups. "You think i don't know what's it's like?!...Sorry..."
I totally get you. Maybe he just such wonderful person. I don't say he should act like a dick. It's just his backstory and attitude don't add up to me much. Perhaps if there was more clear timeskip (to establish family influance)or more inner monologues, i wouldn't have such feel. Let's assume he's"fake it till make it"kinda guy ?I get what you mean, definitely, but people handle things differently.

"Fake it till you make it" is a possibility too I somewhat agree, his calm and composed demeanor doesn't always match the trauma he's been through. Just wanted to point out (orig. comment), that while highly unusual, it's not unrealistic or far-fetched. Some people, usually ones who has been through a lot, can get really used to the chaos and remain kind and in control, even if the world around them is on fire Definitely not the norm, though.I totally get you.
