Ah ! Well, in first chap, MC is seen walking and crying down the street, barefoot, bruised, in the rain, wishing things had gone differently between him and ML. That’s the present.
And eeeeeverything that happened in the story after (except the flashbacks which are way more into the past), are what lead MC to these first few panels.
You can enjoy all the angst with us now ! -w- TwT
