Truly, I could never tolerate cheating, but abusive behaviour would always be the worst thing for me. Hurting the person you 'love' intentionally, is just as unthinkable for me as cheating.
Those are not light bruises Natsuki got. Arata was beating him up, multiple times, hurting him both mentally and physically (since it was pretty clear how guilty Natsuki was feeling, making him feel he completely deserved all of those), over a long period of time (I believe that happened for hours - first on the floor, then some more on the bed after a break)

Yeah. I can't imagine just being dragged on the floor then the bed. Being raped and hit over and over, especially around the face as if he purposely wanted ppl to see those bruises.
Then pouring out your tears like you were the one who got hit (like all those bruises weren't enough) I- really? :"(
If that had went wrong, he could've even killed him.
They were both absolutely wrong there. So I saw the way they stayed separated all those times to cool their head as an absolute win. But if that was me, I would probably be too afraid to look into his eyes the same way again.
You don't really know how scary it is :")
Most ppl have been broken hearted before, but most ppl have never seen what it's like to be physically abused because "it was your fault."
Personally, I think it wouldn't be wrong if Arata had just leave Natsuki alone and moved on, but he took matters into his own hands and raped him. He didn't just hit him (really hard for many times AROUND THE HEAD AND FACE which, you can guess, could lead to lethal dmgs if they didn't get that checked soon).
Y'all PLEASE don't say it was "cool" he got raped after he cheated. I don't hate this story for it, but y'all, nobody deserves that experience. You don't understand how your body just 'don't forget' even if your mind has. I thought Natsuki was going to throw himself in front of the train, my fking heart-
I really hate how people justify being beaten to a pulp because he cheated. If someone cheated on you, you give them one slap and move on. Man I miss those times.
