RUSSELL WAS PRETTY WEIRD although when Shinnosuke thinks about it, he's probably seen a lot of people from similar backgrounds to Russell, so in the long run, it doesn't strike him as too odd that someone would act the way Russell does—though in the moment, it's kind of "huh" whenever Russell is super passive about things.
He did have some sympathy for him, partly based on his age. Not that he thinks 14-year-olds are necessarily innocent, but he wasn't really thrilled about the idea of voting one off, so he was kind of relieved when Russell dodged a bullet that one trial he admitted to drugging himself. You can drug yourself to sleep, child, but please don't admit that to other people??
Learning that he'd burned Annabeth to death didn't really change his opinion of Russell. People kill, kids kill, eh it happens. Given Russell's attitude, it made sense. Again, he's probably seen kids get broken down from their pasts and become killers, so he sort of realized Russell probably had the capacity for it. It didn't come as a surprise to him, especially since Annabeth's death wasn't a "wow what is wrong with the killer???" death.
He was a little surprised that Russell Really Wanted a Pizza Party, and he really could've done without being dragged to one? Damn it, Russell. Go find someone else to bother in the afterlife.......
