"Watching Miyazawa, I think that I'm a truly dull, unoriginal person. In the end, my only worth is that I'm 'well-made'. And I thought that I could be happy if I was perfect." Nothing resonates with me like seeing a 1 who has a horrible perception of themself-- not for the sake of being perfect, but because they believe that despite their presentation and desire to grow, they are still holistically bad for a reason. Arima is controlling, jealous, and deeply insecure to the point where it actively hurts the people around him. Of course, the saving grace is that he hates these aspects of himself and tries to subdue them, but does so through unhealthy means (such as self-harm). A common misconception about E1s is that they are moral perfectionists for the sake of betterment alone, which I always thought was strange. Personally, my resolve to be "good" stems from my belief that I am inherently flawed to an unacceptable degree. Nobody knows our thoughts and intentions better than ourselves, and no matter how many people tell me that I'm "doing a good job", I feel as though I am consistently letting myself and others down, and I can't find a way to forgive myself without it feeling self-excusing. There's a quote from Franz Kafka, in his letters to Milena Jesenská, that I think puts this dilemma into words: "I am dirty, Milena, endlessly dirty, that is why I make such a fuss about cleanliness. None sing as purely as those in deepest hell; it is their singing we take for the singing of angels." I don't know if anyone prattles on about dismantling evil more than those that believe they have to prove that they are good. It is a form of compensation for the flawed aspects of themselves that they ignore and reject as opposed to acknowledge and grow from. This is why E1s get the reputation of being judgemental and "preachy". Anyway, I really appreciate Arima's character, it's nice to see a 1 with this much dimensionality. I hope this didn't sound like I was projecting too much.
