2.41.2 I hate this B-word.

"Don't let that old man influence you."

"I am not weak to be influenced by anyone. Don't talk nonsense while I warn you about something important." Tarkov never considered himself to be influenced by anyone. Even working for Wilkis was done so that he can pursue his goal of annihilating Utena.

There is no meaning in his life besides that, nor would there ever be any in the future. He is living only for revenge.

"It's nothing to do with weakness. Just being and appreciating someone, one will want to be like that perfect person."

No one knew this better than Alfin. Even after being hated for everything his brother made him go through, he still struggled to not appreciate his older siblings' talents and abilities. There was a reason he planned to have a better relationship with his siblings in this life even after everything he went through.

He knew where he was lacking and compensated by saying, "What would Gyatri do?".
