@Ita no ins or whatever is an allied country of berry

@JewelShade he also poops and farts all over the hippocratic oath, going against the spirit of a (medical) doctor

@cae I like her dress, I just don't like the person wearing it

@Irateastartes you know it's fked up when you can say at least Ras got to live vicariously through people she believed loved her back.

But I agree, of course ML is how he is, his "role models" were psychos and people who bullied or resented him. He has difficulty identifying his feelings of love and affection and he only expresses his approval and appreciation through maniacal laughter and stereotypical, yet awkward, courting maneuvers. All of his flashbacks paint a messed up picture. The one in ch 39 is pretty bad, where he's doubled over on the ground after healing and then his dad pulls him back up by the back of his shirt collar. The flashback this chapter is different because we see he felt something new, aside from the previous fear and pained exhaustion: anger lmao.

@justasnail he's emotionally repressed so he doesn't totally mean that. He wants her to join him so they can "use" each other to exact vengeance on the world or whatever. He feels a sense of kinship with her, bc of their similar circumstances, which is why he's particularly disappointed at her refusal.

So not exactly love, but probably the closest his emotionally constipated a** got to love. In that timeline, at least

@BERU his dad told him to skip the "lame" emotes so the only positive one he has is maniacal laughter :(

@justasnail her life is flashing before his eyes LOL

@hoi sm**? Lol
