Under_the_influenceee's manga / #Abuse(4)

Living w/ his little brother in a cramped flat & having to work while still a student since they fled from an increasingly abusive father, Hyou promised himself to protect Setsu; however as time passes, Hyou becomes unable to flee from his dark impulses to repeat his father's extremely destructive behavior.

"kid... it’s not your duty to “save” him, you know? God, if you’re gonna do this, make sure to write your last will and testament, force him into full-time therapy and get rid of all the sharp objects in the house... Better yet, get him committed to an institution if you have to, do whatever it takes but for fuck’s sake don’t even think of living again under the same roof, cause that’s a disaster waiting to happen!"

This is so tragically beautiful, like how does one help them- where to start? It's so messed up but you can’t help but feel sorry for the both of them and want them to be happy but it feels so weird cus they aren’t happy but for them it’s just kinda like the happiest they think they can be.
