what are you doing on the floor

"he's so babygirl coded" (he has killed so many people. and he will kill more)

Мистер, у вас произошла небольшая утечка загадок..

So I was thinking that it seems odd if Jay, (experienced to make his own circle group when he's alone though he forgets) but when he is an Admin manager, the narrative trying to show that he's lonely? What about? His subordinates?? Their connections? none? huh? Then how he became a manager if he hadn't formed Any Bonds, to get trusted enough to be the manager but the narrative trying to show us as if he's lonely?? It's been 5 years.. (?)

And now with the whole Rogue situation I'm starting to understand his motif.

It's like.. the inability to express yourself- like.. those people around don't really accept you. Not as in they shunned you away but they want You-that-They-Supposed-to-Know. Yes, he's adaptable he could try to fit in. And as the result they know fit-in-jay.. their idea of him, not this current how-he-is-now Jay. (*This is the big picture, applies to both the Administration & the Ninja).

In the Administration maybe he has their respect, but I'm not sure he felt that way because he Knows he shouldn't be there, due to him being the master of lightning. At the end he knows they'll against him. Even if there's any compliments towards him, or any sort of appreciation would felt Fake, because it's not directed to him, but to someone he pretends to be.

Those years he's trying to fit in, to be acceptable to their standards, contrasting to Jay who's more.. (y'know how ).. Thus he has to kill some parts of him for them, making him losing himself. Maybe he realized this afterwards, so then he started to feed his "ego" (like playing games while working), doing anything that makes him felt "good" or suits him, anything that screams "This is Me".

And that's also why he accepted ras' offer, he accepted him as ele master, he "rescued" him; Though at the end he dumped him anyway ^_^

Plus the ninja wants him back, "Him" as in his family, But He doesn't feel that way. He's Not someone they expect to be. He can't pretend to be someone who they want. He knows for sure. He's tired, he wants to find his own path. He doesn't want to feel stuck/trapped. He want to be able to be himself. He wants people to see him as he is now.. not "Jay" they supposed to know.

And Tralala.. He picked a name: Rogue, his new identity to distinguish himself from Jay (whatever they think Jay is like).

He does whatever his intuition told him to, goes wherever the skies let him be.

Now I have mixed feelings if they bring him back to the ninja again hhh. It has to be good.

I'm still not over Jay's name.... Jay Walker...

One of my favorite things about Jay is how he’s always the first one to resort to crime (featuring one of my favorite Jay clips)

jay never beating "is jinx from arcane" allegations

I'd like to think that Kai used to be a shy kid
