How is it that NO ONE mentions the bandages on them? ESPECIALLY Bum's neck bandage (which would, I think, stink to high heaven because I am uncertain they have been changed. )

They prolly change them pretty regularly, otherwise they'd both be bloodstained and infected. The cuts have probably healed for the most part on Bum, Sangwoo, not so much since that was much more recent. But they might also still be using them for sympathy points in case the cops ever try to investigate into them again.

This little (emotional) masochistic tango these boys are dancing is very, very interesting. Neither is good at communication and, as I see it, Hayato really does genuinely love Souma and Souma, poor Souma, is so very broken down by life that he really, genuinely has no idea of love or acceptance. Breaks my heart that he’s such a good guy and can't see that Hayato isn't playing him.
