it was consensual. in ch. 3 he said, "is there anything you'd like to say to __", kinda implied that he will send the video to the old man. the reason mc and old man did a session together is simply because the old man is a bdsm nerd and was inspired by the video as an author who has written about the topic before. smth like that, feel free to correct me.
This plot is kind of all over the place
I think it's confusing because they're not really explaining the plot thoroughly and you have to figure it on your own, especially with both past and future plotline mashed together. still, i think it has a nice build up.
Come on what build up it was over in a second
HE SENT A VIDEO???
