y'all don't know how happy i am this author is skipping the misunderstanding arc where the pursued-party finds out the initial intention of the pursuer, it really eases my stress whenever the top is open and loud with his feelings that the bottom has no room to misunderstand, though he's still in the clueless/denial stage

i'm not sure, but if you were to ask my opinion on it, it's most likely that the MC lowkey realized the ML actually has genuine feelings for him and that he also have developed feelings for the ML as well, got overwhelmed by his emotions and therefore walked out to attempt to run away from the very thing that caused it, which is the ML. that's just me and my two cents tho, this is not for certain

i know time stopped for him but that's just in age, right? since they still feel physical exhaustion and the effects of time psychologically. so what i'm trying to say is... after all that time fighting and resting inside the dead carcass of monsters... isn't he stinky?? and ik for a fact that bootyhole aint clean cz they be eating and that equates to shitting, in addition to that, there's clearly no water or toilet paper
i skimmed chapter 1 then read the comments to see if it was worth reading but then i saw someone say the MC is losing their self esteem as the story progresses just reading that made my stomach drop, i cant handle characters with a bright energy get dulled down im already crying wtf
