What Hayato did to Noburu was without a doubt horrible and he was 100% in the wrong but I think saying that what he did was unforgivable is a little much. He was just a kid back then and a kid who was notably a bit more immature than others his age. He legitimately thought Noburu was joking when he confessed and had no idea what would happen if he told his friends about it. Of course, that’s about as much as I can defend him as he didn’t even make an attempt to defend Noburu from the bullying and harassment he was facing. That was very cowardly and selfish of him, I cant deny that. However, I’d argue that he really has suffered enough and deserves to move on from his past mistake. He’s suffered enough guilt and regret to last a lifetime and I think he should not neccisariky forgive himself, but at least start to leave his past behind.
