I know exactly how it feels to have that loved one beg for death because they are simply in that much pain.

I know exactly how it feels to visit a loved one bedridden with agony. And once I had that thought, the whole sequence took on a different meaning for me, and I buckled like a lawn chair in a hurricane. I hated him as a reflection and pitied him as a character. He hesitates and stumbles and can't find the right words. Likewise, Louis reminded me of myself in his interactions with Cruz. Because setting aside the anime vampire stuff, on a fundamental level, they're both women battling painful curses they didn't ask for and don't deserve.

I couldn't help but see my sister in Cruz, and the similarities were so unexpected and uncanny that they zapped me out of my brainless anime coma and forced me to take Code Vein seriously in a way I otherwise wouldn't have. Barring some unforeseen miracle, she will battle all of this for the rest of her life. Her condition severely limits her work and lifestyle choices, and her medical expenses are obscene because this is America. She's had multiple major operations, many more minor ones, and countless visits to the emergency room. Severe scoliosis, spinal cysts, nerve degeneration, auto-immune disease – she's a walking cocktail of rare disorders which are rarely seen even in people three times her age.

I can't even begin to tell you everything that's wrong with her. She's had spinal issues since she was 13 years old, and so she's dealt with chronic pain for most of her life. My sister is incredibly important to me, and she's the unluckiest person I know.
