Honestly, for the first time I realized how heartless Alastor could really be. I get the whole Vox is too touchy. I am autistic and I had super long hair until recently and random people would grab it all the time and be like “oh my god it’s so long and pretty” and out loud I just kinda smile and say thanks but in my head I’m like thanks are you blind because that is like the only reason you should be touching me to know how my hair looks. BUT Alastor didn’t just call Vox out on behavior that makes him uncomfortable or deny his offer to be partners he did everyone’s worst fear when being vulnerable for the first time. Alastor crushed and humiliated Vox. Anyone who has ever been the awkward, weird, fat, ugly, etc kid and tried to connect still knows how absolutely mortified Vox was. Alastor made Vox more dangerous and unstable by doing this in this brutally cruel way.
