#but now aaron instead dies under aiden's care and their relationship is like pretty complicated before aaron's death

when you're the main character's little brother and doomed by the narrative because the author decided that the cult trauma wasn't enough. rip aaron

#ts4 render #aaron #aaron is a curious case as a character because i think in the very first thing i wrote about aiden and sam #aaron was not a nice person he was still in the cult and aiden and aaron never had a good relationship #but aiden still felt guilty about you know. leaving aaron at the cult because aiden still recognizes that aaron is just mimicking their #parents etc etc #then i think i changed it so that aaron and aiden did have a good relationship but aiden did leave aaron at the cult #so then he very understandably feels guilty about that but the thing is aaron is. dead in this version too #so aiden very much feels responsible for aaron's death and he also theorizes that the people in the cult literally killed aaron #which i'm pretty sure wasn't actually the case but aiden's like trying to find someone other than himself to be angry at. you know #and THEN came the versions where aaron does run away with aiden #but now aaron instead dies under aiden's care and their relationship is like pretty complicated before aaron's death #mostly because of aiden's addiction so aiden very much feels responsible for aaron dying. so yeah
