...? You understand that making Error apologize is the same as forcing him to and that you're contradicting yourself, right?

I see what you're trying to say now and I disagree with your logic. I don't think Geno needs to lash out at Error for Error to realize what he did was wrong and I think Error already understood that he really crossed the line this time. I don't think another person turning around and being angry at him would make him realize that any more and might result in him closing off from them. : P But that's just my take. I forget what happens in the next few pages but the logic of "If I'm mean to them back, they'll understand and repent" is severely flawed and only serves to rub salt in a wound and/or make them feel like they're being attacked and have to defend themselves.
Unless that's not what you're saying at all and I'm still misunderstanding lol

[insert the John Mulaney meme "Now we don't have time to unpack all of that!"]
I was gonna say I didn't have the spoons to read a wall of text but then I did read it and that's,,, kind of a worrying response??
What you just described was abusive manipulation from your end and I'm concerned about your sibling. Have they gotten therapy? Are you alright?? That's a lot of responsibility for a kid to try and shoulder, especially seeing that it had negative results and harmed your relationship with your sibling severely. Days of silence between siblings isn't normal and encouraging them to damage things they didn't want to damage or things that couldn't handle the damage done is not how you handle explosive anger healthily. They weren't bad for having those tendencies. Rather than teach them that destruction is terrible, redirect that destruction onto something else that it won't matter if it's damaged.
I understand that you were both children but yikes! You gotta look back on that and realize "That wasn't the right way to handle that." and learn from it. It sounds like you and your sibling walked away from that with trauma. I hope you both are doing okay now.
Do you,, feel better after saying all that?
As someone who had an Error-like phase, when people lash out at me when I'm trying to make things right, I lash back and that's not a healthy way for me to respond to it. Lashing out is never the right way to respond. Crushing guilt is bad for your mental health. Geno's anger is valid. It's not healthy but it's valid and I don't blame him for feeling it. Perhaps understanding Error and saying "Yeah, you did fuck up." would have been a healthier response than "You're sorry."
If someone is so bad that they can't be treated with kindness and understanding, then you may as well just lock them up.
(that ended up way longer than I thought it was lmao)

There's a difference between being honest and being an ass and I hope you learned that difference over the years. That's all I'm going to say on it because my mental illness is acting up and I can't form a straight thought. This isn't a good conversation anymore and I don't feel comfortable being privy to all this information, sorry.
