Takes a deep breath.
Montressor has always cared for William.
I started to suspect it the first time.
That very inconsequential time when I thought the Clusterfucks were just a group of people using each other for convenient power plays. When Montressor showed up to Will's room and Lenore had a gun to his back.
It shouldn't have meant anything, it was just Montressor calling Will to go have lunch. Montressor should have easily ditched him and he left. However for some reason Montressor lingered.
(The fact that he recognised Will's toothbrush AND picked it up was crazy to me. Didn't fit the arrogant ruthless persona I imagined him to be).
When Will said he was praying for Montressor.....gave advice. And it's the way he said it. The way he said it damnit.
If he was just a casual atheist, he would have laughed and then left. But he lingered and he said ......something he believed with all his heart. And you can tell that he's not just saying it to mock Will's faith. He's saying something he feels he should have heard ages ago. Like a past anguish weighs heavy on his heart. And that is so interesting to me, because for someone who has denied his religion, Montressor carries that cross with him everywhere. 💀 Bro never takes that shit off! It's so delicious!! (I love religious trauma when it's written well)
Back to Will!
Montressor had no reason to come down here and save Will. It was one guy, probably the weakest member of their team. The most pathetic guy. The guy we all thought was just Montressor's door mat. Not only did Montressor detect that Will was in trouble, he came down in person to save him....and then got his ass handed to him. 💀 (It was a diabolical beat down.)
Pluto nearly shot him. Bro nearly died! 💀
Which brings me to another fun fact about Montressor (stay with me, stay with me here). Or....I guess check out the next post, I'm at a picture limit. 💀
