It's great as a prologue to something much bigger <3.

It makes you want to explore the world and the story of Kyu and Mairo and their relationship, how they ended up in this desperate situation, the mother's point of view (I know that this being a BL it is likely that she is an antagonist, but having considering how little agency women had at that time I feel more sorry for her), and how Mairo really feels for Mahiro (Call me naive but I refuse to believe that a father can hate such an adorable child) <3.

And knowing the future of this unhappy family, will they end up separating and each for their own while leaving the child in charge of everything? Or will they talk things out and come to a compromise to make life easier?

Honestly, I would have liked Kyu to scold Mairo, because it's not right to treat the child like this for something that isn't his fault lol.

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you liked it 🥰

Sorry to disappoint but this IS how Mairō feels about Mahiro. Sure, it's not that he actively hates him because he doesn't really know him. He does everything he can to avoid Mahiro but it's not out of spite; it's because just looking at him is painful for him. Because it reminds him of everything he couldn't have.

And so, I can't imagine a situation where Kyū, being his only ally, the only person who really understands what he's going through, would be so cruel to scold him or push him to have a relationship with Mahiro. He'd try to do it in very small steps. But anything more than that would feel like a betrayal and complete disregard for Mairō's feelings.

So it is a tight spot to be in, but I think that makes for an interesting dynamic. ^^
