Tbh I feel like the comments here are conflating explanation and excusing. ML is very obviously mentally unwell and has been the entire time hes known FL. The back story now is to give further insight into the whats and whys that are his unwellness. Obviously, it's not an excuse to his action or his original misunderstanding of what FL was feeling and who she is (this misunderstanding, of course, being what led him to feeling justified in his neglect and anger at her).
The ML is gonna be staying the ML, so understanding is going to be necessary for him, her and us as the audience to move the story forward and "forgive" him.
I think literally one panel of lariette saying she doesn't hate him (literally just anything expressing her feelings of any kind) would've made that switch feel less rushed
I feel like from taeju putting the pillow under to the facial expressions to even the feet (using an "abnormal" part of the body can just be fun and kinky, it doesnt have to be a fetish), the artist had some v good sex recently lmaoo
I love the artistic consistency where when it's like a red background, taeju I feel like is being scary in someway and our boy is usually scared in someway
