Wait there's a third life?
That's what I'm thinking. This is possibly their third life together. Unless Ido started treating MC better in their first life together, which I highly doubt.
My theory is that the current life is the third life.
First life is where Ido abused him and treated him like shit. Lost him to suicide.
Then the second life he realized how much of an effect he had on him, and tried to treat him better and got to know him. (Like how he prefers white furniture and cars and such. And how he wanted a garden and a skylight for a tub.) But then MC still ended up dying tragically (possibly by his brother).
And in this third life he gave him everything he wanted from his previous life before they even met.
Unless all of that happened in the first life, like, combining my first and second life theories to make one life.
Does that make sense?
It does make sense.. although I hope they only had two lives and he got treated bad in the first one and Ido tried to make up for it in the second one. I can't even fathom him going through all that bs two times
This story is so sad. Written really well and drawn really well to convey a lot of emotions. Ido said that he failed him twice. I wonder if that means that he felt he failed him again in the second life, or if there are three lives total. This story is so crazy that I had to read it twice to see and remember all of the weird signs that Ido showed.
I wonder if in the second life he tried to treat him better and actually got to know him, and that's why in the third life, he had prepared for him ahead of time.
