@CaleHenituseIsAGod Oh, his family does definitely notice, but in typical cale fashion he just brushes it off. To me ws is the type who would not do unncessary things just for the sake of it. I don't know, my opinion of him is kind of like muzan to daki or something- he is cruel but with people like cale who is just better to keep close and shower with affection in order to win over their loyalty/trust, ws can be cruel in killing his own subourdinates, but for those like cale he keeps close. If he tortures cale he knows cale will have a higher chance of hating him, so he tries to rectify his image but being especially considerate of him and even pulling back some of his plans just for cale's sake. Cale at his best potential is obviously when he is motivated to survive, yes? So if he makes cale have to survive against him, the target of cale's ire is him. But if he treats cale nicely and gains his trust, then he is hoping to redirect his survival to being with the ws, essentially allying with him rather than going against.
Cale's life is tied to his, so no matter what ws will still have to care about him. Since cale gained a more important role as his life, which is more important than his path since without his life how can he achieve anything, he will grow focus his care on cale. Since cale is also dangerous as he blocks his path, by taking away the threat of cale dying, he can also take away the threat of cale being in his path. Eventually it all sums up to caring solely about cale. He is afterall the only thing blocking him whether by enemy or by his own life :3
Cale cannot kill the ws either, so I'd like to think a possible ending is where they live on forever while everyone dies, forever fated enemies, never gainibg peace or somethijg like that lol
