This was pretty well written, I do give it that. but I *do* blame the sister for what she did. not gonna give details but I have personal experience somewhat similar to this and all I feel for the sister is contempt. You claimed you loved him and you ran the moment it got difficult. She chose herself over her partner: it's a choice some people make and it's sad and realistic, but that doesn't make it right. don't get me wrong, the brother is fucked up, and the side story's way of attempting to justify the only innocent person in the whole story, the mc, felt like a retcon. From one perspective it's two broken people finding some kind of comfort in one another but if you think about it for more than two seconds it's more like abuse. Bro didn't need to stick around and torture himself for the entirety of mc's relationship with his sister. He chose to do that. He could have gone off and lived his life. The only thing I give him credit for is stepping up to take care of someone he had no actual obligation to in their time of need, but raping him has absolutely no defense. And then the whole thing about begging and crying to keep him around, that's also a classic abuse tactic. but it's meant to be fucked up and I get that. it's not beautiful, it's not heartwarming, it's not a happy ending. It's just a fucked up story about fucked up people that is written and drawn well. Honestly, I feel really bad for the mc, he didn't do anything to deserve all that.
