He disliked rei from the get go because he refused to listen to rei’s explanation about accidentally picking the wrong keys and assumed he did it deliberately to mess with yori. Dude just because you’re an asshole doesn’t mean everyone else is. Seems like he isn’t even particularly close to yori given that he doesn’t really acknowledge that yori has a crush on rei (something his other closer friends know about). If he did know and still deliberately and aggressively propositioned rei after realizing that yori was talking about his own situation with rei to feel out if rei was a slut taking advantage of yori it still makes him as asshole. Imagine making shit up in your head and hating someone for who you thought they were without even knowing them or listening to/engaging with them.
Hayato could’ve told Touma why he was getting married. Just because he got blackmailed by the girl claiming to be in love with him he didn’t have to hold to her demand to keep the conversation between them. It makes sense that touma held a grudge so strong he wouldn’t let any reincarnations of himself be happy with hayato’s reincarnations. After all he ended himself full of heartbreak over being abandoned. Reasonable crashout.
I think that he explained why. He was just a coward. He didnt want touma and his family to suffer from going against the girl. I also think thats what the letter he had sent was for. To explain that no matter what hed love him and that he would always but things are happing that made him have to marry her. I agree that is kinda shitty of him to just leave Touma hanging and that, although a bit extream, toumas reaction was understandable with the lack of context he had as to why he was left by Hayato.
Ngl Red Candy also kinda my GOAT and I love this story so far too so please stop putting one down over the other. ANYWAY enzo really said if I was into you you’d wish otherwise. Given the events of chapter 1 where enzo follows uno/adrian through a building mid construction and shoots him off of hanging beams we can see that he was speaking straight facts.










But having to be in a relationship constantly just to not go to jail sounds like a nightmare.
