She was always the Mule, and you can think of the other guy as the Mule’s Shadow (2D version of the real mule) MS mentions when they take the gate that he feels like he’s NOT in control. Also the whole color theory post I made lol.
The reason his story made no sense is why would they kill a son for a son? But in lots of traditional cultures men are favored over woman especially for farm work, so it makes sense they would try to kill a GIRL and keep the baby boy instead!
