Aeroc my poor baby

What upsets me is that we can see Aeroc didn't fully recover mentally from the past timeline. In season, he continues to ask kloff... as if hes asking for permission for things he deserved. Like wanting to be his mate or being the papa of his children. He forgot these are something that naturally supposed to be his. He still assumes rapiel deserves these not him. I hope in the coming chapters second timeline kloff helps heal these traumas so he can openly take instead waiting for kloff's approval. For people who are angry at why aeroc still choose kloff, my assumption is that at some point (mainly after he was kicked out and pushed to the slums) he stopped seeing kloff's abuse as wrong but more as something he deserved. He repented his actions with rapiel but then he also started seeing Kloff's abuse as mercy for his "grave sin". He was pain but he still wanted kloff's kindness and to see his children. ( He has six and didn't get to hold any of them). We don't see him play chess in the second world..maybe he stopped because og Kloff beat him for it. I don't what the term for this... But Aeroc is a abuse victim and he thought he deserved it. Aeroc (as seen so far) as no support system. He has no real friends, no close relatives, basically no one who loves him unconditionally. With the butler he had a formal relationship.So he couldn't share what was happening with him. Maybe if he did, someone would definitely stop him from doing what he did with Rapiel and help him deal with his jealousy in the first timeline. I think the takeaway... If you are only child of your parents

. Make real friends who will smack sense in you before you go headover heels for a rude aggressive country boy :/
