@Calli the irony of you saying "healing" while admittely saying it's bad character writing instead of pacing is unfathomable. theo is not getting in contact w gunner nor is he wishing to do so by choice. he hasnt completely moved on, true, and it's a given "healing" will undoubtedly take time. all he wants to end things in good terms because resolving by cutting off ties is simply not going work, as far as we know. idk what your concept of healing is, because it is different for everyone else and just because it does not fit the concept of healing to you does not mean it applies to everyone. you probably just want theo to downright cut gunner off or maybe fightback when he forces himself on him.
