The Japanese authors just love that extra drama and angst, huh. Making an omega suffer is always on the menu there. (Hate seeing rape scenes tbh, especially super graphic ones, down to the forced oral close ups, etc.) Anyways, the attachment trauma representation here is pretty accurate. The omega is kinda giving disordered attachment and the way he clings yet closes off at any possibility he sees to be abandoned is very well executed actually. I also quite enjoyed the torment and sort of conundrum the omega found himself in as the identity he built for himself as to cope with early childhood trauma was about to be destroyed by the exact inevitable longing that brought him to the person who saved him from himself. That was a very nice and touching aspect of the story. The savior complex in the alpha is also well executed, maybe driven by the fact he's found his fated mate.
The art style isn't my preference even though it's objectively good. Scrawny dudes just don't do it for me visually. But nonetheless, great character dimensions and writing. Funnily, the plot and the story as a whole wasn't super interesting and was in fact very overused, but the characters were well written for the most part.
