So all of Reno's 3rd Division mates are aware of his situation but probably not the details of the most recent neutralization/final test Reno went through with Iharu.

On the note of getting used to tragedy, I ironically just got back from being faced with people who also feel like how Wesley feels. Some new level of bad shit happened over the weekend between my abusive father and my mom, so I went to the crisis center. While explaining everything to seek resources, I had said "we're used to the usual emotional, financial, and psychological abuse and even the violent outbursts like him throwing a metal tea kettle at my head, tackling into furniture, things like that, but what just happened was vile and unforgivable.." ect. and all 3 people (case manager, and 2 DV counselors) present were looking at me like I grew 2 heads. The lady in charge pointed out to me that the fact I had casually said "I'm used to being tackled into furniture and having things thrown at my head" was extremely alarming to them, because even for people in abusive relationships, they usually aren't in them long enough to be so ingrained and so.. meh about something like that that they can say "I'm used to it" in the way I did and mean it and she had pointed out that same concept, that that is how people who live in war zones or very criminally active locations react about their situation. So the timing of this conversation is too apt lol 😅 Truth is, I don't think there is any ability to intellectualize it. The best way I can explain how it is, is that you just dissociate from the reality of danger because nobody can handle being under pressure that long. Like, just imagine how you felt when you got in a car accident. Imagine that as a 32 yr long car accident. Eventually, you would just get to a place of "can this just end already? I'm ready for whatever comes" so that part isn't what I find to be the strangest thing about this kind of environment and the CPTSD you get from it. What I find more difficult to understand is why it completely warps our perception of the world in such a way that, say, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most traumatic thing you could go through, if everyone's normal trauma level is a 2, so their average day is 0-1, when you have CPTSD and live in what is essentially a war zone for so long, the normal day is an 8 and it feels like 0, and other people's 10s for us feels like 2s, but getting out of the situation? Having a healthy dynamic and relationship? Having a job or hobby you like? Things that would be and should be 0s, feel like 10s to us. It's easier and "safer" to us to stay in the dangerous environment we are familiar with, and with dangerous people we can predict the behavior of, than it is to leave for a better, safer, healthier life with people we can't predict the behavior of, because we don't know what normal looks like for other people, so acts of kindness feel like manipulation or like something bad is gonna happen. It warps so completely, that victims tend to return to horrible situations because they are more comfortable in chaos (like Tommy looking for the war in Peaky Blinders. Or returning to the unhealthy relationship he has with Grace over the good thing he had going) I personally have come to a place where I can see the pattern and know how to avoid it in the future, but it bleeds into other areas, like when I moved out for a couple years for university, I would be doing well, getting good grades, have my own apartment that was peaceful, people treated me with respect, everything I could've hoped for, but I'd have meltdowns and bring chaos into my own life over the smallest things, like I was subconsciously replacing my father for myself. The things he'd say to me, I say to myself, and for good measure, I'd visit home and court trouble with him and we'd get into fights. Then, when things got too hard for me to handle, where was my safety net? My parent's house, where unsafe was comfortable. It is the most twisted, confounding aspect to me more than people simply getting used to danger. I wonder if the kaiju in the show finally got wiped out, if people would create a new danger of that magnitude, like warring against each other with kaiju weapons and suits.
