Reading this again is bringing back all the frustrations I felt when I first started reading it. I hate seeing how John is acting even worse than the people he hated—violent and out of control. Instead of dismantling the hierarchy, he's just enforcing it * 10 worse. He's a tyrant. I love this panel (see image). Blyke is acknowledging that he, the formal royals, and all the other high-rankers were wrong. He knows now and is trying to be better by making a safe place for everyone. I hope everyone else sees it too. All these students need to be kinder to one another and themselves.
