so many questions, so much confusion

he’s flirty because he’s a prostitute who’s situation literally cannot get worse so he doesn’t care anymore. also the killer’s plan is to kill the pimp but I’m not sure why. the red haired dude is working for the black haired lady, but I don’t think they’ve revealed what their end goal is yet

He’s flirty because he’s basically a whore and he just wants to have do is have sex with him and he is honestly probably is just a little crazy and can have Stockholm Syndrome which is when you fall in love with your kidnapper (sorry if this makes no sense)

Lmao as you’ve noticed he isn’t exactly normal. He doesn’t have the typical mindset of “this is horrible, I’ve been kidnapped!” Honestly I don’t even think you could call that kidnapping since it looked like he wanted to come along in the first place. It already sounded like he knew the guy was watching from afar and was just waiting to be taken by him. I wouldn’t say that this is an ordinary case of Stockholm syndrome.

This reminds me of this one manga where the FL has a stalker, when she meets the stalker she’s “kidnapped.” People thought she developed some usual Stockholm syndrome until it was explained that: she approached her stalker and ASKED him to take her with him. She had a crappy life, being abused by her family at home, bullied by classmates at school, and being sexually abused by her own teacher. Being “kidnapped” you could say was like him being her savior as he treated her way better than the life she had before. She avoided cops because she didn’t want to be taken back to her abusive family.

I don’t know much if this connects but maybe the seme was a sort of “savior” for the uke, since it wasn’t like his life was great before anyways.
