From the MC's perspective, it feels like love. From the ML's perspective, he wants to believe that too. But from the readers perspective, we all know it's not actually love, but trauma bonding. We know it's not a healthy relationship, but the ML is a delulu psycho, and the MC has experienced Stockholm syndrome, so now he's conditioned to be delulu too.
After reading all of this nightmare fuel them "making love" at the end made me sick. No shame for writing this Freudian fuck up but don't turn around and try to make this shit ok with "a healthy relationship based on love" #Gag
