i see your point and i guess what i meant to say isn't that they have chemistry but that they have potential chemistry... it isn't because they're both men but because they kinda have an enemies relationship (just from the detective's perspective, bcs the lawyer doesn't seem to really mind him). to me, a character that is just there and whose purpose is only being a victim (ex, the teacher in this story) isn't interesting, but that's only to me. if the detective was a woman I'd still think they have more potential than the lawyer and the teacher. i like the moments in which the teacher suspects the lawyers and questions his intentions but ultimately she's just being manipulated by him and it's being foreshadowed that she and the people around her are future victims of his (which i guess is the point in this story and if i don't like that i should simply stop reading)
the lawyer and the detective have more chemistry than the lawyer and the teacher lol
