>>16704795i honestly think that he used to be pretty high iq, and that's what attracted those bullies to prey on him in the first place. his pidgeon obsession explained through their flight, a symbol he took as freedom from the hell he was trapped in. his lisp a sign of his sensitive nature. i think he only fought because he thought it was the only way to defend himself in the shitty circumstances he was brought up into, and the only father figure he had kinda just groomed him into it. he still is pretty high iq, but i'd imagine all of those blows to the head kinda fucked him. a sad reality.
