Like, I know the end scene was meant to be a funny one, him escaping like that could be compared to a person finding out their partner is cheating, but for me it was also a trauma response. He's truly scared of Enzo. His body moved fast enough to know he must run for his life. That the man is not bluffing and his life could be in danger.
It's not Uno's fault if he use that kind of method to do his job, honey trapping is classic in spy stories, so why would he follow Enzo's, dangerous mob boss and rapist, baseless rules now just because he said so. He's his employee but it doesn't affect Enzo if Uno has an affair with the target unless he sucks at that, which Enzo knows Uno can deliver results. So it was just pure control and a test, and Enzo is actually happy about Uno's constant defiance and, from time to time, unpredictable actions.

    Honestly, it's so funny, but so much more interesting that it's not just funny and has much more depth to it.

    Considering what he's thinking while kissing her at the opening of the chapter, Uno hasn't slept with anyone else since Enzo, and his experience with Enzo was: not easy, not simple, and didn't feel good :(
    While I'm sure Enzo kept his promise to make him ejaculate at some point (or more) between chapter 21 and 22, I can't imagine it being anything other than painful and hamulating for Uno.

    That's kind of why I put up that vote to see what everyone thinks about their next time together, since without a doubt Enzo would want him sober this time. It would be a big step in their relationship, so the question is: How Enzo intends to align their different tastes? Giving Uno the pleasure he deserves, or gaslighting him into becoming a masochist?

    But I disagree with this part: "He's his employee but it doesn't affect Enzo if Uno has an affair with the target."
    It does affect him. Enzo is possessive as hell! Like let's forget about the "owning him" part for now, since day one he's been annoyed by Uno's easy attitude, even if he enjoys the boy's free spirit too much. For example:

    Uno trying to seduce him right off the bat: annoyed
    Uno whistling for Turo's party-time look: annoyed
    Uno fucking another guy right in front of him: super annoyed
    Uno getting himself drugged: annoyed
    Uno throwing himself at him while drugged (and assumingly confused): annoyed
    Uno not being aware of the bitemark: annoyed
    Uno disregarding any possible commitment on his target's part (or his own): actually super annoyed!

    While he's playing the shit out of Uno, Enzo is very self-aware, and his possessiveness might be out of obsession right now, but once he falls for him, it's gonna be even on another level. That's why I can't wait for him to become aware of Uno's lingering feelings for Candy.

    Really true for the obsession self-awareness

    Enzo did say he has to be careful not to kill uno and treat him carefully when uno's in his grasp. Well as carefully according to him...

    Rian really is too reckless
    Being an ss rank did have its own pride i guess

    He is definitely one of the most interesting self-aware psycho characters~

    But yeah, I wonder how far he can control his instincts and maybe eventually see Rian as a person, not a toy, or gem, or whatever animal he's chasing! But I guess not for some time, since Uno's line during chapter 11 was pretty much foreshadowing:

    "... A word of advice, before you tell someone to get over it, you really ought to reflect on the error of your ways first. In the future, do try treating people with a little more respect... even if you'd rather dunk them in the fountain. That way, you won't be left with your dick in your hand."

    LoL, the line was longer than I remembered~
    Well, that feels like something that has to happen for Enzo to finally get it, like catch real human emotions! Anyhow, it's too soon for Pinocchio to understand these things~

    Well, our Italian boy was raised by a psycho Geppetto~ Other than skills, Uno needs all the help he can get, while he has none... good luck, man, good luck ( ̄∇ ̄")
