This story is a good portrayal of how a victim can fall trap into someone's web. Haruki was helpless, despite having Hanabusa as his friend, he thought of the repercussions him confessing would bring. And if you still haven't understood by now, he blames himself for killing his mother, and only Haruki knows of it and as he stated "the only one who can forgive him" that is why in the end, he chose to stay with his step brother. In no way does this glorify stockholm syndrome but shows how a helpless victim can become. (2)
I agree too!
Am I the only one who actually like the story? I mean, yes, it's fucking messed up but that's the reason why I like it! And I actually liked the ending. I think it really fits in with the story. There's actually more I want to say but I'm not really good in english and expressing it so I'm just gonna say that this is probably one of the best messed up BL stories I've ever read. It kinda reminds me of Harada's work like Niichan and killing stalking.
