Basically, yeah.
First he consents to the conditions of being accepted onto the team after being outed as a Whistleblower. Then he's crying up a storm while fulfilling the conditions. The boss does try to go sweet on him, but dude just keeps crying, so a Safe Word was established and the Boss tells him exactly what to expect and when.
I honestly don't like how this character was written. Like, over and over again he expects what, exactly? You don't quit the company you outed. You accepted sexual conditions for a position on a team you're not qualified to be on. You cry at EVERYTHING!!!
What exactly has this character done to heal and empower himself beyond being scared to leave???
Geez, no one can help you if you stay silent.
Just say the safe word
