Well let me tell you you have empathy, and that is a compliment. Society certainly need more people that can sympathize like you just did.
I feel you. I'm just hoping this is the wholesome romantic story between a decent guy and a psycho, because I have a thing for those.
I hope the father just sent that guy to protect him and not to being him back
right now, I don't ship them.
I also had a weird feeling about that sundae and his friends are shit, too it seems. May be the red hear is ok for caring so much about his friends life story.
Anyway, as someone that did her best to escape a house that was toxic and abusive, but only a fourth of what this kid went through (may be even less) and thought she would go insane with every month I spent there, I got goosebumps when he was involved with his dad again. I am sure deep down somewhere he wishes he could at least have a normal conversation without strings attached once in a while with his dad, but as that is not possible that is something that he has to work on to not let it make him depressive.
Escaping after working that hard and enduring all that abuse,pain,isolation and all over negativity since childhood and then having to be involved with a guy that seems to like his father who is probably like a devil incarnate to him, kill and be a "gangster" while smiling and he also has a glib tongue....bro....he will need some magic traits to make someone who came out of such a life with his own power want to give up that freedom to an extend and be involved with someone like him (who is like his dad and likes his dad and is loyal to him) especially romantically ....
i don't know why but i feel very sad for him...
