@LoveIsADelusion actually, that's exactly what I was trying to say... I guess maybe I worded it badly? What I meant is not that ML wants to SEE MC's limits... but that he wants to get MC finally be able to use the save words - in meaning - to admit he has a critical point which he doesn't want/is not willing to cross, and whether it is due to his PTSD or just bcs of his boundaries is another matter ofc... overall I think ML just wants to see MC admitting he has many traumas that aren't cured (that's why he was trying to trigger them) and also to see that MC is finally able to say STOP, to put HIS life and mental state in the first place over the "pleasure"...
With love, Terru <3
