This could've be resolved day 1 of the prince taking care of the other chick by just explaining to the mc about the situation and keeping her up to date on what has been happening; couldn't speak to her? Write her a letter. And even being firm with the other chick to quit it with her nonsense.
"Oh, if we turned it down the guy would have been persistent and you know how he can be" no, you are just spineless. You let this misunderstanding happen

Really short sighted of her.
You expose your dad and then what? He loses his job? Well guess what? you just lost the sole breadwinner of your family.
Will you get a job a support you and your 3 siblings? While going to school?
Then what your dad did could also spread to each one of your schools and guess what? Y'all are gonna get bullied for it.
I mean the aunt could take all 4 of you in but that would be overwhelming for anyone

Me trying to make head or tail of this fucker: ヽ(`Д´)ノ
I think he finds Nagare fascinating because of his unwavering ability to care and love others even at the expense of himself. Okaya cannot do that himself, either with his parents or his ‘friends’. You’d think he and yakuza guy are similar. But while Okaya cannot feel love, he recognises it and finds it interesting whereas the Yakuza guy probably cannot see it or finds it a nuisance (so he explains. Whether he’s just bullshitting or not is another story).
Since Okaya cannot feel love, he enjoys it vicariously through Nagare which is why he bullied him so severely to see how far his love went. In the end, Nagare proved his love for his mother to the utmost degree by throwing himself off the roof for a fake video that would slander her, which Okaya finds so cool about him but he also mourns the loss of his ‘toy’ which he cannot feel vicariously from ever again.
This is all just my own theory though. Okaya’s thought process certainly is interesting and we’re so close to his comeuppance.
