WHERE THE FUCK WAS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TAG?!?!

Realistically, growing up and being essentially groomed under these conditions, I don't thing he'd be able to properly mentally develope in the way he did
Because regardless of how he "agrees" to be treated, he has the mental cognition of a grown adult who understands his own will opposed to what he was groomed to think and believe, which likely wouldn't have happened considering how he grew up being isolated from anyone who would treat him like a proper human being and so had no way to disillusion himself with how he'd been raised.

I think in a young child to pre teen especially, this could set in as a mindset where he believes that it's normal to be treated this way because of what he is and how his "friends" would abandon him for being abnormal would reaffirm these beliefs that it's something inherently wrong with himself and that people could see as soon as they got close to him. He also wouldn't understand that how he responds to his brother is abnormal because he'd been taught from such a young age, which furthers my point that he probably wouldn't understand fully why his friends would leave him and instead of blaming it on what he was doing, attribute it to who/what he is.

But he exhibits an understanding that he is supposed to be independent and has and does express his own desires to an extent. I believe that even his willingness to follow instructions comes from a place that is trying to create the illusion of control. He does believe that he has no real choice in the matter, which is why he agrees regardless of how he feels, to make it feel like he at least has that much control over his personal autonomy. But he still has enough mental development to understand that he has personal feelings and the power to say no, he just seems to fear the consequences.

Now I'm not saying it would be impossible to break from these learned patterns of thought, but it would take a seriously dedicated support system and I don't think it's something he could break free from so suddenly.

Also, realistically (and unfortunately), if the abuse were to develop to this extent sexually, it likely would have begun at a much much younger age (likely in early puberty), making the groomed behaviour ingrained that much deeper. His brother has had access and control over his victim for so long, he wouldn't have felt the need to suppress himself and respectfully wait until they were adults.
