the scene with his sister. holy symbolism

a liar and soo disconnected and hypocritical about people only doing things when they want to. emotional but disconnected and his suicidal ideation is written in so naturally
such an interesting fella!

"i swear to god i'm a madman" x20
so hypocritical, constantly projecting his inconsistencies onto people (particularly girls). the second he gets comfortable, he info dumps onto some poor girl while simultaneously saying nothing at all and asking her to run away. she promptly says no and he leaves with a 'i didn't want it anyway, but i meant it when i asked' mentality. what an interesting guy

the prostitute scene gave a lot of insight on holden

i thought id understand holden more than i do. he's young and grieving and, therefore, immature. but he's SOO questionable and annoying like PLEASE

but i get it

holden chill
