i lowkey get where the ex was coming from when he was talking ab it being the lesser of two evils- like. neither option was a good one. something like breaking up with the mc probably would've just been seen as an invitation from the higher-up. i think he was right about it being the better option, bc i'm willing to bet that the person who was targeting the mc would've tried to break him on the most basic level possible, esp since it was specifically mentioned that he'd use drugs & props. obviously rape is never justified but i do think he cared for the mc in his own fucked up way.
