Haha, yeah that sometimes happens~ I don't mind if he's that type of character; In fact, I usually like characters like that...But if he's really a soft yandere type, then I don't think it'd be healthy for Violet to be with him in the end. All I can hope for is that he somehow lives in the end (don't know what to expect with this, since this story doesn't seem like it'll take the tragedy route, but also isn't super predictable).

If he's a bit of a yandere, like I suspect, then he could have a twisted mentality where he thinks that the more isolated and hated she is by everyone else around her, the more she'll rely and depend on him.
He'll be the only person in her life, aside from her father, that truly "cares" for her so she'll have no choice but to love him. If this happens, then it a twisted validation that he's needed and wanted by her, and the only man who deserves to be by her side.
There's plenty of things he can be thinking right now, where he feels that his actions are valid. Like some sordid test where, if Shannon does end up with black haired guy, then it was only further proof that that guy didn't truly love Violet, since he was so "easily swayed by Shannon".
Aaron might think that even if Violet is hurt by everyone else, it's alright since she'll eventually acknowledge that Aaron is the only man for her who has never hurt her.
The thought patterns of these types of characters is really scary and messed up. It's scary.Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
I don't think I trust the guy anymore. Something about him strikes me as...off.
I do think he genuinely likes Violet, but that it's in a twisted way. Like he's a softer "yandere" type. I think he's manipulating things behind the scenes in a similar way to Shannon, and might even be helping Shannon to a degree, so that Shannon gets Mr Black Haired Dude, and he's able to get Violet for himself.
I like the cut puppy dog him now, but it feels fake. Like he only acts that way because Violet expects him to be that way, and gives him the best attention when he's like that. I think he's super sus.
