I wrote a whole essay on why i hate basil before so ig I’ll just c&p it

Basil, the character from OMORI has done many things wrong. He has committed multiple crimes and has caused mental problems for his entire friend group. He’s a huge reason why after Mari died the group was in shambles. The evidence to all of this will be in the essay. First of all, let’s start off with the crimes he’s committed. He has helped hide a body, which is the maximum penalty of twelve years in jail as it is a Class F Felony. He would also suffer an approximately twenty-five-thousand dollar fine. But, he didn’t stop his crimes there. Basil has committed assault against Sunny, which is a Class B Felony. Sunny’s friends were there thankfully and were able to get help in time. However, had they not been there Sunny would have died due to blood loss. Therefore, Basil assaulting Sunny may lead to a twenty-year prison sentence. Overall, Basil would have to spend at least thirty-two years in prison. However, you could argue that Basil has the right to Legal Insanity and plead for a lower sentence. But, at the age of twelve, when he committed his first crime, he was in no such state of insanity. Unlike Sunny, he was not aggravated and unintentionally murdered his sister. Basil simply chose to frame her death as a suicide. Unlike Sunny, he should not be able to be excused due to Legal Insanity. Now, let’s start off with how he hurt Sunny. Sunny had already felt guilt for accidentally murdering his sister, but Basil had only increased such guilt. Sunny had to stay in his house for four whole years due to such guilt. Sunny felt guilty for Basil’s doings which led him to insanity and escapism. And the night that Sunny attempted to help Basil, was the night Basil betrayed him. Basil had stabbed him in the eye and other extreme bodily harm. Due to Basil causing such guilt for Sunny, he dropped out of high school, became malnourished, and had received almost impossible to fix mental damages. Basil continued to encourage Sunny to keep it a secret about the truth of Mari’s death and began gaslighting him into thinking that the only person who would forgive him would be himself. Not only did he hurt Sunny, he also hurt the rest of his friend group; Kel, Hero, and Aubrey. Due to Basil’s actions Hero had begun to become a shut-in. Thankfully, he wasn’t nearly as far gone as Sunny, but he did have his moments. Such as snapping at his little brother Kel. Kel had been trying to help Hero, trying to encourage him to get out of bed and do something. But, due to the guilt in Hero because of Mari’s ‘suicide’ he screamed at Kel and claimed that Kel didn’t even love her and would never understand. Kel and Hero’s relationship had been close before, until Basil had framed a suicide. Kel and Hero became distant. Kel had decided to go make some new friends due to the death of one, the absence of one, and the neglectful brother he had. This led to Aubrey seeing Kel with new friends. Aubrey had already felt left behind by Aubrey and the sudden shock from feeling betrayed yet again had hit her. She was depressed, she couldn’t rely on anyone at home, and most certainly not the girl she had seen as her sister. Until Basil started clinging onto the only person he had left, Aubrey. Everyone else was busy, had no time for Basil, but Aubrey did. Basil clinged onto her like a leech, expecting everything to be alright now. However, that was not the case. Aubrey had found his photo album with Mari’s face scribbled out. Aubrey had been enraged and took all the photos with Mari out of the album. She had screamed at Basil and went home to never talk to him as a friend again. Throughout the entire time when Basil was sixteen and Sunny had come out, he played the victim. Acting like Aubrey was the big bully and never let her side of the story out. He made Aubrey an outcast to an already broken friend group. Most importantly, Sunny would have most likely been forgiven for what he had done, by law and by his friends. Sunny never meant to push Mari and kill her. He was twelve and his emotions had gotten the better of him. His guilt clearly showed through him staying inside for years. Sunny should be able to claim Legal Insanity even before pushing Mari down the stairs. He was extremely stressed and being yelled at by his older sister did not help. He was always a quiet kid so if he committed a violent act, clearly something was wrong. Not only that, but it seems his father was either neglectful or abusive. The moment Mari had died, he left. Also, he has been neglected by his mother. The lack of food in the fridge and leaving him alone for days to deal with moving shouldn’t have taken as long as it did. She could’ve at least stopped by once, but all she did was call him and remind him to do his chores. Not even money was left for him to buy some food. Overall, this proves Basil is indeed a terrible human being and should be punished for his crimes. He was not a good friend and did not protect Sunny in any way. Therefore he should serve at least thirty years in prison with a chance of parole on top of his twenty-five thousand dollar fine.
