first, Art’s smile changed. In ep 12, Art looks more hallow and soulless but regularly, Art is more happy and sweet. He also talks a little monotone-ish. With these thoughts in my head I came up with a total of theories…
1- It was actually Art’s brother who ‘shot’ Nice: This is probably not true because of where the mole is, but isn’t that our only clue so far?
2- Art was given a minimum which totally altered his personality and actions
3- Momoka convinced Art to do something for her(?) Or maybe Art is an important person to Momoka and that is why she saved him
4- (nothing to do with the theory above but) maybe there’s more than one forbidden minimums??
PS. We still don’t know much about Art’s little brother and the secret whispered in Art’s ears.
Remember how Moral wasn’t shocked ONE BIT when Art came. I 100% expected Moral to say, “Why… Are you alive?” And die, but he didn’t. That probably means that Momoka was told to save Art by Moral and when Moral is close to death, Art would be the one to take over his place? Moral KNEW(he is not dumb) he would die because of possessing two minimums at the same time so he wanted a backup(Art.) This is one of my longer theories.
“What a cruel fate” He did say that, but did you guys think about it? He would be real shocked if Art was alive and he shot him like what… twenty times? I think the cruel fate means Moral thought he could defeat Nice with his minimum, but he failed. Art came to greet him, meaning kill him, because of his failure and he was ordered to kill Nice also. Moral thought he didn’t need to use plan B(aka letting Art take over his place)?????
You know how Art’s brother died in a truck accident targeting minimum holders? NO BODY WOULD GO AROUND KILLING MINIMUM HOLDERS FOR FUN, HUMANS ARE NOT STUPID THEY KNOW MINIMUM HOLDERS DO NO HARM UNLESS THEY TURN AGAINST THEM. I think the accident was lead by Moral who desperately wanted Art’s brother’s minimum.
The reason why Art acted that way was probably because of him learning the truth(what Moral said into his ear) or either obtaining his brother’s minimum.
just a theory of mine, don’t take it seriously
