13. A little childish and very realistic portraits? Sometimes I think Bryan is a character that makes me feel quite contradictory.

After all, he was born in a top-level university majoring in law, and he was valued by the procuratorate at a young age, so he should be more sophisticated and smart is right.

22. Bad and naive self justification, both in the writing sense and in the semantic sense. But on the other hand, this kind of functional self-justification, which sounds superficial, is common in life. Many people may have such a person in their current life. This person doesn't have to be your close friend, but you will show your stupidity/arrogance/evil by saying things to him that you would never say in any other context. This person is usually a complicity, or mirror relationship, in some sense you both have. This kind of conversation will be ashamed to express regardless of knowing that it is another person, but both parties can find comfort in the expression here. And the comfort here is not understanding, not listening, not anything beautiful you can imagine, and certainly not ugly. It is about expressing and expressing the self hidden behind it, and even narcissism.
