Lucifer in starlight
Do you ever think about the fact that everything Knives wanted from humanity as a kid, love and acceptance and 'sharing the same heart',
All this, he got from Legato and yet he still mangled him and left him to die at the hand of his own brother.
Legato wanted so bad for him to see him as an equal, the same way Knives wanted humanity to see him as one AND YET.
i think knives saw elendira more as an equal than legato even. the thing is he didn’t care at all, he just built the strategy- take them as kids and they’ll be grateful as adults, basically what happens after people save little animals etc. tho legato went on another level with his devotion which i think gave knives a tick. while reading trimax i understood it as a fact that canonically Knives thought of Legato as an annoying companion he has to keep for the better purpose lmao
