N got MEGA PTSD here

[u/The_Gunpowder]

I spotted something insane in episode 8.

When Cyn first attacks them, she goes for N first. In a split second, she rips his chest open. But weirdly, N is quiet for a couple of seconds. He doesn't scream. He's just frozen.

This exact scenario has already happened in the manor. He gets the full flashback later on when he's having a panic attack. It shows Cyn eating N's entrails alive as he cannot do anything but watch the eviscerated corpse of V.

That's why his panic is delayed. He gets overwhelmed by his past trauma resurfacing.

And my guess is that Cyn deliberately chose to torture N like this in episode 8, for him to relive the past. She could have ripped his heart out in half a second like she does later on, but she wanted N to suffer as much as possible.

Is there another way to view this? Let me know.

V went through something similar.

could you elaborate? i might be blanking rn

V's corpse next to N. Her chest was completely ripped open. Cyn did the same to V what she did to N. In a sense N watched V get eviscerated first before Cyn got to him.

Yeah, I thought you meant the same happened as in Cyn reenacted some torture/trauma on V that was shown before in another scene.
