Yeah. He possibly mistaken kindness and sexual pleasures for love since his family died while he was young.
He was enamored with the idea of having someone physically attractive desire him when, it seems, no one would have the same levels of passion towards him. But he was also so engrossed in his works that he neglected Henry, assuming he'd just stay put.
Quite selfish, but hey, so was his original counterpart.
And that’s why he slept with other guys and left the door open to see if victor would actually care. And I’m sure when he killed one of the ppl he was with it made him feel like he was loved to???? Ehhhh idk if that theory stands
I’m starting to think Victor didn’t actually love Henry. He was just obsessed with him. His appearance and so on…
