Not gonna lie I think his like for the ml went from platonic to romantic after the hypnotism + sexual assault. It made him see the ml in romantic light because of the sexual acts ml did while he was hypnotized, he started having dreams of it too.

Before the hypnotism, I think mc still liked him romantically. During the hypnotism, I presume before they started doing sexual acts, he said he liked Kakine. The dreams were obviously when he was under hypnotism which probably intensified his feelings and lust. ml still shouldn’t have sexually assaulted kakine though :(
Just a short fact, not because someone is rude and says something rude doesn't mean you gotta stoop lower than them but it happens for the plot of the story I guess(the plot is rape I guess)
