this might sounds harsh but

i feel like ML keep rewinding time is driven by pure greed and obsession being confused to be affection towards lamia. his only objective is her and her only, he doesnt even think twice to break her brothers hand and complicate matters for her further. i just think he has a savior complex and he sees lamia as a damsel in distress, and thats why he got so attached to her but he ignore everything else she holds dear
