Everyone keeps saying "it's okay" or "ignore that rumour" , they all trying to help him already. It's just the peak of plot story.
If someone is scared and you say “it’s okay” or “ignore it”, do you expect them to just be able to do it? It’s like telling someone who’s crying to stop crying. It doesn’t work that way. He needs more than just reassurance, he needs to be shown that he’s valued and won’t be avoided. It’s not just that he’s worried about the rumours. He thinks his friend knows he’s a human and is avoiding him, the lion dog is teasing and taunting him and his sorta lover sorta not is avoiding him and telling him to stay away. He’s treating him like a nuisance and someone he doesn’t want to be around. It’s not just the rumours but those don’t help. I just find it really bad of those who are in the know to just leave him stewing cause that’s just going to result in more people figuring out he’s a human and him getting closer and closer to being killed. Rumours are bad enough but if people start smelling his fear and realising the rumours were real and he’s right there? He can’t escape a school full of demons. He cannot hide in a school full of demons. They will smell him and hunt him for sport. If it’s part of the plot, it’s kinda stupid considering they gave us this lore in the beginning and this event just goes directly against what was warned in the beginning. The guy who warned him is the guy who’s doing exactly what’s making him freak out. You’d think he’d know better but apparently he doesn’t.
Man, you need to calm down. I know you anxious in these chapter but neither our beloved couple can do anything about the situation, that why they trying to find the culprit. To make everything back to normal is to deceive school that the rumour is false. And since no one knows the uke is human , he still safe, "what if" bla bla in bad way then that we wait for another chapter so author can give us the satisfaction for their story,
It’s not me that’s anxious tho. Like you said, it’s a story. I’m angry that the author hasn’t stuck to their own lore. Imagine creating a lore then ignoring it. Imagine is a franchise like fnaf or lord of the rings were to create lore for the story then ignore it. It would cause a huge uproar. Even the fanfics and the fan made games all adhere to the original lore. There’s no point to making your readers aware of lore if you’re going to ignore it. I’m a writer myself and I don’t know any other author who would so easily just abandon their own plot line and their own lore for some spice. There’s so many ways to create tension and spice that needs resolving without the need to ignore the lore. Imagine if aot just randomly decided that titans wouldn’t function the way that they do for a few episodes. That’s also a manga. Fans would be so confused and get angry at the author. I like these characters but not enough for me to keep reading if it really was bothering me. I love some misunderstanding and some issues cause that’s what makes it realistic. No relationship worth having comes easy. But there’s never a reason for this from the author.
Didn’t they say that anxiety and fear and generally scared feelings are what make demons able to scent that he’s human? Then why isn’t anyone fixing his anxiety? If they KNOW he’s anxious - cause you take one look at the poor boy and he’s trembling - they should just HELP HIM! He’s drowning and needs a life raft thrown to him but no one is even making sure he’s okay. Even the lion dog that’s been all over him has been ignoring the anxiety in favour of adding fuel to the fire and making him more anxious. Does he WANT him to be caught as a human?? I don’t really understand this. Do they want my baby boy to die? If so, I’d like to petition the school to drag him out to where it’s safe and he can have peace of mind.
