The worst part is, you don’t even hate this.
i think that either woobifying peter lukas OR pretending that his backstory isn’t, you know, intensely sad miss something about the story-telling.
because the way that peter was raised is tragic. he tries so hard to make it sound like it wasn’t absolutely abhorrent and it didn’t leave him with this gaping hole, but it did.
but unlike evan, who took whatever the intensely hard road was out of the lukas house and into happiness and companionship on the other side, peter took his misery and bottled it and then decided to inflict it on others.
