I love the juxtaposition of the relationship between our main brothers and their complex emotions and the other guy on the track team and his older brother. Really shows how complex the sibling relationship has to be in order for it to go wrong like this.
I would even say that bcs their household lack substantial care and affection, being the older brother delegated the "parent" function and having to act like an adult since who knows when that it's a given how messy they act while responding to stress and anxiety. They won't talk, they won't question, they just accept or burn themselves. And yet, they just had each other.
It really gets me how their father was there but it felt like he was just a guy who sometimes comes by and the older brother has to entertain or something. Like, it's driving me crazy how its so distant, the house so empty that it feels like (from yahiro pov) that there's no one there to actually care for you.
But anyway maybe I'm reading too much into it so don't take my word too seriously
