At this point, I think that Aeroc suffers from an extreme Stockholm syndrom... There's no way hes so blind to all this bullshit just because hes in love, especially after all the torture in his previous life. He felt guilty for hurting and killing an innocent person, but to take on all this hell while still being in love with that piece of shit... Not possible. Aeroc is not in his right mind and needs some loooooooooong and good therapy to get out of this shithole called Kloff, Klopp or whatever the fuck they want to call him. (No hate to the translators since the translation is great, I just hate this garbage that predents to be human)
At the same time, he is the only one who understand and accepts the ML that people like us cannot.
I don't know what proper reaction is supposed to be but thinking a person can feel that way towards an unlovable person is what makes this romantic.
Spoiler
Also there is another season where the MC doesnt remember but ML does and they regress and MC loved ML despite him going mad because of the side effect of imprinting from season 1.
Even him not knowing anything not like ML who gets dreams of the past here in s2
It’s not Stockholm Syndrome. They’re destined pairs. That’s why they’re both unavoidable drawn to each other and why Aeroc stands and adores the violent Klopp. In this world, destined pairs came go against the bond.
Can’t* no came lol
The problem is Aeroc is blind in this arc, he placed Kloff in this pedestal. He was like this beacon in that hell that is s1, I remember how he compared the assault from the men at the Bottom vs Kloff... He thanks Kloff for those rough vegetables.. and even when he being slowly destroyed, he still thinks it’s okay… I deserve it. In the novel he slowly brainwashed himself to cope with his dire situation, which is sad… he needs a lot of therapy.
In his eyes.. Clough is this man of justice, he wouldn’t do anything wrong. Just like the lynlyn said it’s an extreme case of Stockholm syndrome.
V5 the Aeroc who isn’t broken reprimands Og Kloff for hurting the men at the bottom.
Og aeroc in the novel was obviously scared of Kloff. He didn’t want to be in a relationship with him, when Kloff started pursuing him, he tried avoiding him. But he was never allowed to say ‘No’ to Kloff in world 1… he was so broken that he just submitted to Kloff’s coercion when he told.. you can’t say ‘No to liking me or wanting to have kids with me.’
It’s Kloff who needs Aeroc because of the imprinting not the other way around.. Aeroc can marry someone else and live his life without going insane.
It’s sad.. I genuinely wanted to see Aeroc meeting someone else, or at least tackling how Kloff and Aeroc would work things out.. because for me having a baby isn’t the answer. Kloff knew Aeroc had problems, instead of making kids.. he should have tried to know Aeroc and made him feel more secure in the relationship and understand his trauma and fear. Instead to make sure Aeroc was his.. he wanted a baby to seal this deal. As much Aeroc also wanted kids to see his original kids… he needed to heal.. that should have been priority num 1.
He really nearly beat two guys to death and Aeroc is no better being all "oh no you hurt your hand" nearly killing two other guys wtf. Rapiel was probably the only one who reacted with proper disgust
