totally valid
look, all i'm saying is that if your parents fostered this kid for a while and you became best friends, and then the kid got into drugs or something and joined a gang and killed your brother-in-law, and the police got involved and your newly widowed sister, who had a one-month-old baby, ran into the middle of the gunfight to protect your almost-brother and got killed and then he blew himself up with a grenade, and then over a decade later he suddenly showed up at your house reincarnated into the body of a teenager with his boyfriend who is in his 30s and also hates you and got mad at you for not kicking your orphaned teenage nephew's emotional support dog out of the house as soon as you realized your almost-brother was there without an invitation, and you went to the private family cemetery and he and his boyfriend had jumped the fence and were doing something that looked an awful lot like getting ready to have sex on top of your parents' grave, and you held yourself back from doing anything but saying "you piece of shit, stop fucking on top of mom and dad's grave and get out of here" and the boyfriend went "oh good i've been looking for an excuse to punch you" and punched you in the face, you would hit him back too

Sometimes I sit and wonder about the paralels in AFTG and I go like "Woooow Nora's brain" yk?
So here are some of them:
•Jean and Andrew both having suicidal ideations, being number 3, not showing their emotions on the outside but feeling so much on the inside (AND letting people think they doesn't care), protecting Kevin (and others in general) and not accepting help until the situation is critical.
•Andrew and Riko both being separated from their families at birth and creating one by force, Andrew doing it mostly for others while Riko did it for himself.
•Renee and Neil growing up in mafia/gang enviroment and scaping it, the whole Nathaniel/Nathalie thing.
•Matt and Aaron growing up with neglecful parents and them being the reason of their addictions (to similar things also) and being "helped" with that by Andrew's questionable means.
•Nicky and Allison being shunned by their parents for being themselves, forgetting all the other things they did to make them proud and loved.
•Seth and Neil trying to blend in (in different ways but still), dealing with jelousy and then Seth dying his last year with the Foxes and Neil who thought he was gonna die his first year surviving.
There are much more but I can't think of all of them now and didn't write them the last time I thought about this. For me it's awsome how maybe a little desition, a person, a moment... can turn you in an entire different person and this books show that SOOO WELL!!

So, to recap, Hayato Suo:
Does basically everything with a permanent smile on his face (it's NOT always reassuring).
Wears an eyepatch and we absolutely do not know if there is a working eye beneath it.
He claims there is a Chinese spirit under the aforementioned eyepatch. In the character book he states this seal was "about to be broken", whatever that means.
He introduces himself as Leonardo Fucking Dicaprio for some reason.
He is touchy.
He calls other guys "Cutie" (derogatory) (is it only derogatory?).
He teases people (Sakura) as if it's second nature.
He can (and might) actually kill you.
His Hobby is freaking Human Observation which leads to his best subject being Chem and his freaking best skill being World Manipulation.
His favorite music is Folk Music.
His dream is the Emancipation of Slaves (which. Holy Moly Ravioli. The others listed a gf or a trip and there he goes).
Has a Master and Brothers (Relatives? Other disciples of this Master?) we know absolutely nothing about.
He NEVER eats. The single panel in the manga where he is shown eating has been "corrected" in the anime adaptation with him handing the food to Nirei. And he claims to be on a (unspecified) diet.
He has yet to go all-out.
Berates others on what it takes to be an adult (he is at most 16).
He claims to be a "chill guy" (spoilers, he is not)
What is wrong with him.
it if I had a nickel for every YA book with two deeply traumatized and touch starved characters exploring their intimacy behind a closed bathroom door during a critical turning point in the plot while their friends are chilling outside I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
I'm so soft for it every time a character calls their lover "angel" or "sunshine" and their lover is literally a dark edge lord self-destructive menace to society who has committed more crimes than countable
new genre of favourite character: normally apathetic teenager who gets absolutely unhinged when in the presence of dangerous substances
