I think he is fascinated with her because of the power that she wields and the control that she wields. At the moment, he sees her and his life does change. His life up until that point was like, “Oh my God, I’ve been sequestered into anonymity in this massive factory plant for human workers, and I’m going to be living at my mom’s for forever.”
And then it progresses into — I would never condone this at all, but as he starts to stalk her, it turns into an obsession because what she represents, the power that she has, he desires. And in a way, he desires to be her, or at least be noticed by her or to be with her. And that gets confusing. Syril, I believe, has never been in love before. He’s never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend before, he’s just so repressed. I feel he’s had experiences like that, but he’s always kept himself very removed from that because he’s spent his energy on trying to become the best possible guard dog for the Empire. He sees everything else is a distraction.

Reblogging because Kyle Soller and Denise Gough *get it*. I appreciate so much that they both not only understand how awful their characters are, but are outspoken about it. I’ve seen all the interviews with her about “please don’t root for Dedra, she’s fascist”, but I hadn’t seen any with Kyle about “I would never condone this at all, but he stalks her”.
Kudos to the actors! They’re fantastic. 💜
