what if magic was some kind of escapism for chikage?

i& #39;m gonna bring up itaru bc i have brainrot and they& #39;re REALLY similar in a lot of things but i& #39;m specifically thinking abt their forms of escapism.

the both of them obsess over their passion (games and curry), and they make
it a point where they separate the things that give them escape from their usual lives as much as possible, so that they won& #39;t get ruined and tainted and as a result, they have diff versions of themselves (taruchi and chikausa)

itaru said in kniroun that he got into acting as a
chuuni bc it& #39;s another form of his own escapism other than games.

so with my kinnie mind i connect two and two (absolutely nothing) together and behold: chikage likes doing magic bc it& #39;s also one of his ways of distracting himself from his traumatic life
i& #39;d like to think that i make sense bc it does to me fbdjdjd like. magic is a thing that people are amazed at, and can& #39;t quite believe. if chikage fixates himself in something that people are astounded at, maybe he& #39;ll be perceived better. he& #39;ll be looked at nicely, and maybe he
might fall for his own tricks himself.

but the thing is, magicians aren& #39;t mesmerized by their own tricks, because they know everything about them. all the details, every process. knowing the truth removes the entire purpose of "magic."
...and this is where i bring up the fact that chikage& #39;s always been lying to others, and to himself.

knowing the truth of unfortunate circumstances and accepting them when it& #39;s easier to run away and to continue lying...

maybe chikage shares the same sentiments as magicians,
just like how he does with rabbits.

i& #39;m so ahdiajdjjksk over this thread chikage please just open up <333
