His feelings are not sympathy, what a hypocritical feeling sympathy is, such a condescending sense of superiority itself is only applicable to human society. Nor is it fear, because there is no clue to empathize with, and all kinds of human emotions do not intersect with his existence itself. When Kasper shook the baby with tears streaming down his face and sighed: I am so far away from everything, the highest and primal nature of man collided strongly in him. The way he was crying, there was no pain expression.
Kasper has nothing to do with all concepts possessed by humans, including time as the first physical property and the final category of thought. I thought of the Elephant Man when he was presented in a circus for viewing as a deformed breed of a human being. But elephants are too "human", with some shame, vanity, and fear. If it weren't for being so ugly, he could live with people. Kasper is too different. He has a estrangement that cannot be eliminated from all conventional forms of human society, so as an experimental object in the human vision, he can only be eliminated. His limbs are at the mercy, but he himself, including his limbs, is free.
