Luigi's letter is remarkable, I encourage you to read it in TFA, it's very short.
He's either a remarkably empathetic murderer, or an extremely high functioning sociopath.

- happytoexplain 2y ago>remarkably empathetic murderer, or an extremely high functioning sociopath. I think we tend to over-dramatize the killer state-of-mind. I.e. I think we underestimate how "normal" it is for a stable, emotionally intelligent person to be willing to kill, when they or their kith or kin are wronged egregiously or heartlessly. It's often practicality (means, punishment, etc), rather than morality, that is the block.
- johntitorjr 2y agoYou're 100% right. Both Karen and Luigi come off as so incredibly human, which I suppose should be expected. Seeing that level of humanity on the side of the killer reframes the situation (in my mind) from Luigi vs UHC to Human vs Inhuman.
