So he’s dealing with extreme emotion, and he’s dealing with impulses that he doesn’t necessarily understand at first.
And I don’t think that’s so far from people around the world who are put into certain circumstances because they’re born into something they don’t necessarily understand but are enacting out the necessary behaviors for that upbringing or those impulses.
He has to come to terms with the fact that he’s the antichrist — that he has a mission he’s been born into.
One of the ways I wanted to mark the character is that he is obviously growing supernaturally fast, so what does that mean for his intelligence, his sexuality, whether or not he holds confidence or power at certain times and especially his emotional world — because if you’re growing supernaturally fast, the ability you have to deal with your emotions is far less than a person who’s gone through a whole life of ups and downs.
