i think erin just thinks of aiden as a very handsome friend that she wants to protect when they were younger tho. Even aiden thinks she treats him like a child. Only when they grew up and is a full grown adult did she realized her feelings for him so I don’t think tht counts as pedophilia. Intent and context matters.
But if u think about it, mentally speaking she is still wayyyy older, cuz the years she spent with aiden still counts as her becoming older and since she was around 27 and adding another 10years, technically speaking she'd be 37. Where as aiden had grown up like any regular human being. It's also why I'd understand it better if mc reincarnated rather than transmigrated. Doesn't make the age thing better, but atleast it'll be more comprehensible that she had regretted the things she had done to aiden. Its just I feel the plot could've gone a smarter path by not including any elements of transmgrtion.
I started this not long ago and I find this a bit weird, but when the girl got isekaid she mentioned she was around her late 20s, she was but she was reincarnated into a 10y/o's body...where the male lead is also a 10y/o. Kinda stuck with me that mc is sort of a pedophile in a way like even after they grew up, mentally speaking she is a lot older.
I also rlly feel like the plot would've been better if it wasn't isekai but reincarnation of some sort, since this would've allowed mc to explain her actions. Isekai also made mc too overpowered I feel like, it felt like she almost has no flaws.
