So youre saying as her friend, he should have let her suffer alone with her child. She clearly had post partum and it reached a tipping point where she couldn't even feed or hold her crying child bc she broke down. But yes, let Keisuke leave her be. Leave his friend to suffer. Thats what you're saying bc he went to Hiroki about going home bc she was waiting for him. He went to him times again about going to his wife bc she's a first time parent too. Just like him. He wasn't acting as a stand in husband. He was just helping with the child bc her husband was always busy. Granted he was doing everything he could to secure his future so that his family would be financially secure, but in that process, he practically abandoned her. Its not fair to either of them, sure. But, she already stated that her parents were against their wedding and would offer no support. Then whom else is she supposed to get support from if not her friend? Oh right, her husband. But where was he? At work. All the time. Keisuke didn't and never wanted to be some stand in for Hiroki but that position was forced on him bc be real, what friend would just let their friend suffer? No one. Now the whole thing with him taking the vice president position is definitely mean, but he did it for his family just like Hiroki was trying to do it for his family. Only his wife didn't want that anymore. She wanted him at home.
I agree that Keisuke is not completely at fault here, but I wouldn't really say him taking the position as VP as just being 'mean' because this is BEYOND mean. He knew and saw all the hard work the husband put in AND the reason why he worked so hard. So him taking that position (although he did it for the sake of his mom) from him is practically like a stab in the heart. While K had good intentions, I also do think he crossed boundaries here. Though he never intended to be a stand in husband, that's basically what he did. He was helping his friend but in the process of doing so, he crossed boundaries here.
to be honest, the recent panels seemed like he didnt have much choice, she was the CEO's daughter, and the daughter of his friend, the CEO literally said, he had to choose between his freedom or his mother's life and health. Goddamn, rikkao seemed like a mentally deranged bitch, that doesnt give a damn about no on but maezono, which idc much about, he barely shows up.
Seems like keisuke's been held at gunpoint into babysitting, with the way he was panick vomitting from responsibility.
I am honestly, annoyed at that whole fam except the son since he doesnt know what the adults are doing, they all ganged up, seems like maezono has ability to spread rumors, and anger issues.
Like I feel bad for maezono. Keisuke was out if line I don't care about circumstances he still overstepped with rikako. It was so dumb. Honestly I don't think keisuke should win. Takero should win. Keisuke is ...I still don't trust him and like I'm still annoyed that this guy stepped to be rikakos stand inn husband it was annoying he didn't know boundaries.
