with rape in yaoi i get it’s all fiction and mostly used as a cheap, but common catalyst for romance/plot. however this is a rare instance of a story addressing the after effects and admitting the incident was life changing. instead of getting treated like a minor inconvenience, its good how his trauma is getting explored and also not brushed off instantly? there wasn’t some cosmic loving reaction seeing the ml again. mc was angry, hurt, and triggered by his presence and in this current state still effected by it. it’s praiseworthy to include the long term psychological damage of rape
