@Bad bi*** tei literally just admitted to himself that he's, in fact, not in love with shuraka... he's bound to him by duty. he probably still cares a lot about the child shuraka used to be, but he's a man now and they know next to nothing about each other because they never have a proper conversation except for how much shuraka adores him. that's also not love, in my humble opinion. it's more like obsession and the desire to possess.
