Honestly i agree with everything you said except for when you said Arata should cheat on natsuki. I definitely don’t agree with violence no matter what the situation is. But I guess seeing and knowing that natsuki was cheating just flip a switch in Arata. I guess that was his triggers. Two wrongs definitely don’t make a right i feel like Arata should have just left (which he did) but he should have also broke off contacts with Natsuki so that way they can have space and natsuki can really see how much he fucked up. And they can get back together in a healthy way.
i don't really support violence in sorting out anything and i still don't think natsuki deserved to get beat up. what he deserves is for arata to pretend not to see anything and cheat on natsuki just so he knows how trashy that feels, although considering the type of guy arata is, he'd probably feel worse instead of feeling better.
i couldn't even fathom that much pain you know? being cheated on even if you just dated for a few weeks would hurt but the fact that they dated since junior high school (?) and arata had been nothing but a loving, faithful, caring partner to natsuki just hurts too much. imagine investing so much love for one person only for that person to mutter nonsense like forgetting them because of a goddamned dick??
if you want to play around, you might as well just part ways with your partner. there was no need to betray them and make them feel like they aren't enough, at least have some respect for the time that they spent with you even if you feel like your love have gone sour. cheating is not one of the hardships of a relationship, no it fucking isn't. it is your choice to cheat, just say goodbye and fuck with others. it's just irrational to hurt a person because you cannot fucking stop yourself from being horny.
to be honest, cheating doesn't make sense to me at all especially when your partner had done nothing but treasure you and your relationship. you cannot cheat then claim that you love your partner, that just means you're trash and has no consideration to how the person you're supposed to cherish feel.
