@seraph so like remember skylar in the beginning had a crush on chan-il, cirrus knew about this crush and hence introduced chan-il to ri-in, who became chan-il's girlfriend -- cirrus' motivations for doing this were probably to make it so that chan-il could never reciprocate skylar's feelings, and so that skylar would stop having a crush on chan-il now that he had a girlfriend, creating an opportunity for skylar to reciprocate the feelings that cirrus had for him. this is bad because it reveals that while it SEEMED that cirrus had stopped his manipulation of skylar, and skylar thought that they were now on equal ground and had moved past that toxic phase, it turns out that cirrus' manipulation is the very thing that caused their relationship in the first place, which is obviously a disrespect to skylar's feelings and autonomy. skylar is likely feeling a lot of heartbreak as he realizes the person that he grew feelings for has betrayed him in such a way.

This is suchhh a good analysis!! Not to mention the whole theme of "permission to scream" with Bacon's works, I feel like we might be headed towards Yatora rediscovering his communication abilities in a stronger new way in this arc :DD
