年糕Iggy

Vodyanitsa: Odette is so pretty. Mitya & Alyosha: Vodyanitsa: This is when you say "Don't feel like that, Vodyanitsa, you're pretty too." Mitya: We thought you were being gay, not being jealous. Vodyanitsa: Alyosha: Were you? Being gay? Vodyanitsa, begrudgingly: ...Yes.

They better not pull a Phainon on Mitya...

I might be overthinking this but could this have some sort of meaning?

Mitya clapping sarcastically when Chugunov tries to pin the murders on Odette is so telling. Beneath all his rambling, he has very little patience for reasoning he considers ridiculous. He's far more sharp-tongued than his usual demeanour suggests.

I love that Mitya can recognize when someone is lying without immediately confronting them. At the restaurant, he realizes Vodyanitsa's conversation has an ulterior motive, yet he plays along. He's much more socially perceptive than his demeanor suggests.

#Mitya version of whatever this is.

Mitya's “smarty pants” reputation is funny because his intelligence isn't portrayed as cold superiority. He'll ramble, apologize, get distracted, and still casually notice something everyone else overlooked.

In military culture, they would suggest labelling your gun as your "wife" as you must have them by your side at all times & have strong bonds with it. When Lohen says knives are better "wives," it means he prefers to have a blade. He was never comparing them to an actual spouse.
