sha nain/nyne/nine ends up with both amon and gwen! it's lowkey weird since in the side stories, nine says that he spends his days with gwen, then nights with amon
(the two semes are okay? with that tho since both of them are MADLY in love (borderline obsessed??),,,, in their own ways, with nine)
(and ps, just my personal opinion, it's the best outcome for all of them, and especially for nine!)
from the start, i never could quite put it but there was something wrong with the main couple's relationship. i didn't like it as much, but i just brushed it off bc maybe the connection was still developing.
i finally connected it and it's probs bc of power imbalance tbh. we know mc looks up to the ml, but at the same time, i don't think the ml looks at mc on the same level as him.
i really hope to see an independent character development for the mc without thinking of the ml for once and do things for himself. and i know this wouldn't happen but honestly, i don't want their relationship to be fixed unless the ml chases and begs for the mc again
