If you can read this chapter and still think Kloff’s so-called change and him ending up with Aeroc is a true happy ending for Aeroc, you’re just a heartless person completely void of empathy—fiction doesn’t excuse that.
The only true happy ending for Aeroc would be finding love with someone who never abused him—a love that’s healthy and kind. It doesn’t even have to be romantic; it could simply be self-love. Honestly, I wish the story had continued with Aeroc learning to love himself, and finding that peace but as someone who’s read the novel, I know that’s not the case.
