Blood on the Tracks - Vol. 17 Ch. 146 - Living Together

I'm reading this as Sei has a morbid curiosity or fixation with seeing how his mother eventually passes on. This is a woman who's manipulated him his entire life and only had him to chase after some feeling of belonging which she never really achieved. She's done irreparable damage to him, and I think he is feeling the shift in roles where she is now the vulnerable one.

This is so fucked up if she’s actually dead

Actually, it's kinda empowering to know you can evil but just don't.

You'd be the better man for that.
