I was cheering on both Arata and Sanari.
To me Arata is the obvious choice but I was still also rooting for Sanari because I was feeling empathetic and understood where he was coming from.
But after dealing with an avoidant myself, I am no longer supporting him…his painful past is not an excuse for his bad behavior, he knows what he’s doing, he’s apologetic but he still chose to hurt ppl around him. I’m not saying he’s evil but he isn’t the right fit for our MC, even if the feelings are there. Feelings aren’t enough for a relationship to work.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity, he should do the work on himself bc no one is gonna « save » him or make him change but himself, not even « the right person ».
I may be projecting but that’s my take away, team Arata(2nd ML) here !
