Theo said that he takes care of Aster, does his chores, and doesn’t talk back to Purity so he doesn’t make life harder for her. But way back during Purity’s interlude, she said that she actually wants Theo to give her smart-alec responses, to roll his eyes at her or to ignore her so he could watch TV, because she hates how Kaiser eroded all of Theo’s personality and assertiveness.
Ouch… His obedience becomes a constant reminder of the man who made him that way.
It’s sad.
