"I've... never known anyone who took on their life so greedily... Someone like him is well-suited to living. I truly believe that."
^ I really like and vibe with this line from Nagi. The absolute selfish and infinitely self-justifying creature that is Mao is... well-suited to living. He has traits that keep him alive. They aren't good traits, from I guess a humanist perspective (my perspective), but they're excellent traits from an evolutionary "survive and pass on your genes" perspective.
Not to say that Nagi is enlightened or anything, she got duped and is essentially still duped (since she's traumatized, not her fault per se) by this predator, into having much lower self worth than is fair, and so I guess her low self worth leads her to see her "bad at living" traits through a negative lens instead of grasping that Mao's "good at living" traits are fucked up and deplorable.
If Reiji has his way, it'll become a lot more debatable whether Mao is actually "good at living" lol lmao.
