DO YOU THINK THE REASON TILL DOESN'T LOOK AT IVAN IS BECAUSE HE'S ASHAMED OF HIMSELF?
BECAUSE HE RAN AWAY THAT NIGHT? Was he shocked to see Ivan back at Anakt Garden? Did he think he'd just leave without him? Did he put two and two together and realized Ivan gave up his freedom for him?
Does he feel guilt every time he sees Ivan? Does he know how miserable Ivan is? Does he think he's the source of his torment? That Ivan deserves someone who actually loves him? All the while never even thinking of applying said notion to himself?
I JUST REWATCHED THAT ONE SCENE FROM TROLLHUNTERS S3 WHERE EVERYONE IS TRYING TO CALM JIM DOWN ON THE ROOFTOP AND THEN BLINKY WALKS UP TO HIM AND SAYS "WHEN I GAZE UPON YOU, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I SEE? I SEE A CHAMPION. A FRIEND. A SON. A MAGNIFICENT SON." WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY EXPECT ME TO DO DO THEY WANT TO CAUSE ME EMOTIONAL PAIN WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
