Comment by Asahina San on Asahina San

It's easy to jump to conclusions about Damien without recognizing the complexities of his actions and his relationship with the main character. Damien has consistently shown deep care and protective instincts toward her. Sure, he’s made mistakes—no one’s denying that. But the trauma she’s endured, especially the difficult decision to save her life over their unborn child, wasn’t just “his choice.” This was a life-or-death situation, and Damien was forced to prioritize her well-being, even if it wasn’t easy or ideal. This isn't something he took lightly, and he's clearly haunted by it too.
Now, as for whether she wants to be with him or nothat’s debatable. Yes, she may feel conflicted, but that’s partly because of her unresolved emotions and the trauma they’ve both experienced together. She does still care for Damien, and it’s obvious she’s torn. Her reactions are nuanced, not just black and white "I want him" or "I don’t want him." She’s grappling with a lot of complex feelings, and Damien’s persistence isn’t “assault” but rather his attempt to show he’s not giving up on their relationship. This is a guy who has given up a lot for her, and his determination shouldn’t be dismissed as aggression. Damien’s character is flawed, yes, but he’s also deeply invested in her happiness, even if it means facing these obstacles head-on.

My morale has lost its morale so don't try to visualize my comment as I've visualized, I'm a responsible adult for my own choices in life and that doesn't include my drunken comments

@Asahina San I agree with you that his character is flawed but I'm more focused on her tha him. Like I said before I don't blame him for his choice because I understand what type of situation that was. He's not a bad person because he decided to save her life over his. But when you take in everything he's done to her it's hard to root for him. It's because he is flawed that he isn't in the right mind to be with her nor is she in the right mind to be with him. I get that her feelings for him are complicated but right now, she doesn't want to be with anyone, including him. She has the right to just be alone and by herself like she has been. That was the whole point of her faking her death. To feel so trapped in a relationship that the only way out is by faking your death is by no means a healthy relationship. That doesn't mean they can never get together. But like you said, they are both traumatized and that is not a good place to be in a relationship because as we have seen with them, it is toxic. I personally don't like Damien for other things he has done but if they get together I'm not gonna be mad. But I also want her to have time for herself until she feels ready to be in a relationship again. Which, she doesn't as we've seen the past few chapters. Also, real quick thanks for being super nice and patient in your responses. You make it really easy to see your point of view. Sorry for being really rude in my first comment. It's pretty nice to talk to you even though we are disagreeing 😅
