The character of Brent Runyon parallels Thorfinn from Vinland Saga, in themes of regret and depression. In Burn Journals, Brent sets himself on fire, avoiding problems in his life, quote (I bring it closer to my face, and it all goes up.) This great decision made on a whim shows the dramatic state Brent is in.

When Brent was younger, he was in advanced programs and did well in school. After a couple of years, he started slacking off and ultimately asked his parents if he could leave the program; they agreed. This decision resulted in a downward spiral, consisting of: Brent attempting to kill himself many times, failing most, if not all of his classes, and he also succeeded in hurting himself by setting a gasoline soaked robe on fire while wearing it.
