Okay, this is the first chapter where I had to sit down and call bullshit. Why is the potential ML sitting there watching her get scolded at that? Like, sir, you can just kick his ass. You let him tell her off and leave. This is why I'll continue to root for the Birdman, the only proactive fucker in this nonsense. I know they aren't getting together, but if it was birdy, he would have rip the brother's liver out and fed it to him. (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸

This!!!!! Instant irritation when all he did was sit there, arms folded and watched everything go done. That brother came in talked all that shit, grabbed her arm and all that Lion did was watch. Bro foh! Also she needs to get it tf together cause if we ‘re trying to be strong independent - than break you brothers legs, heal it, in repeat until he knows not to fuck with you. Crush his ribs, cut off his oxygen and heal in repeat until he gets the message.

This is what I live for as a fan of Toxic yaoi. Horrible/Misguided people doing horrible things and the fallout of that. This could be the plot of a Nitro+PLus game, they even have the classic puppy boy character in the mix. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
SPOILERS THO
Just saw the new raws, Victor spiked head's drink with a love potion (I am 100% sure that head noticed). So I'm sure nothing bad will happen from that choice. (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

Owen has been through many different timelines and has been chasing Nux because Nux is basically his pair mate. He never really understood his own feelings on the matter until our current timeline, when Nux "looked" first.
It's important to remember that Owen's species are utilitarian by nature. They focus solely on the best-seeming outcomes to achieve the best results for themselves through timelines and time travel. It likely doesn't even take too many loops to make things go their way. It's the reason they own the universe.
However, with Owen, none of his choices led to an outcome where Nux lived a long and healthy life. To the point where all the looping led to one of the worst outcomes, Nux not existing anymore. Owen's drive was to fix the outcome in his favor solely. Now comes our Nux, who, without any inference from Owen at the start, looks at him first. In that one change, Owen realized why he was even doing this, it's cause he loves Nux, not just to get the best outcome.
Weird alien love at its most weird, horny, and toxic, but what can you do? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
