THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR... well. This whole situation was precedented by Sharon giving Yuri that ring, the one with a Nightray crest on it, and it gave Yuri a lot of feels about being a Nightray and being Ellie and Gil's brother. In a good way! The feels were mostly "THIS IS MY FAMILY AND I WILL MAKE THEM WORK, DAMMIT!!!"
And then conveniently, Gilbert. Yuri has always found Gil to be a nice guy but he is also intensely frustrated with him because he basically considers him to be incompetent where Vincent is concerned--either he doesn't notice his brother is needy and crazy or he doesn't know how to deal with it, and both of these things are useless to Yuri! But at the same time Gilbert is the KEY to helping Vincent and, well, also Yuri's romantic rival. So Yuri is very divisive where Gil is concerned. There is a part of him that 1. Considers Gil only in regards to his utility 2. Recognizs Gil as his own person with his own problems and also his brother, same as Ellie 3. Is jealous of Gil for being the main object of Vincent's affection and not even appreciating it!!
Just a few days ago Yuri was telling Mithos and Lloyd that in all likelihood Gil NEEDED to be here to help Vincent get over his self-destruction thing but lately he's been gaining more confidence and was getting into an attitude of okay, maybe I CAN do this myself. So when Gil showed up it was simultaneous Oh thank god this will be so much easier and GOD GET OUT OF MY WAY GILBERT!!! And then:
TL;DR his thread with Gil was like: frustration with Gil → Elliot feelings → Gil dere → WORRY ABOUT VINCENT → MORE GIL DERE AND FEELINGS OF VULNERABILITY → FUCK FUCK GODDAMMIT OZ → uuuh that is some kind of inordinate flipping out possible plot point?! → OKAY SO about your brother Vincent → TBC...
