Idk i think that sargeant did actually rape him cuz he says that 'he shouldn't have touched him in the first place', and im pretty sure he doesn't mean him touching his boobs cuz he didn't, it was a different dude, he might actually even be the first one to rape him cuz he says hes the one sho started it all which might mean hes the cause of whatever happened to him or hes the first one to do it.
If that's true then it's bad writing then. It doesn't make sense if paskim didn't show sergeant raping him, but show the others did it. What's the point then
The only thing that made me uncomfortable is in some angle sergeant looks like Skylar due to the artstyle and it caught me off guard.
I'm re reading it again, and felt like this is kind of unfair that the real rapists of SM didn't get any punishment. It's like SM think that if he took care/revenged to the person who started/the cause of his suffering, all of the other suffering that follows would disappear.
And yes, sergeant NEVER rape SM, he's the cause, the man in high power in that camp, and the bystander so basically SM is sergeant's rapist. SM becomes what he hated. He even tried to convince himself that it's okay to do all that bc sergeant is the cause, he touched his boobs (as a joke and to ridicule him) but he never rape SM, he even "kind of" unawarely save SM from the two guys who used him as onahole in that room. Sergeant's behavior more like the guy who used dominance bc of his high rank, and bc he let it all happen, those people in that camp are comfortable to harass SM. Like he's a sergeant, he didn't care .... It's also at some point SM look at sergeant as if he's hoping sergeant would stop the guys from doing that to him, instead sergeant still casually watched his suffering.
If this is written by author who romanticized dark trope, I can see the potential of both of them being in stockholm syndrom cycle. But paskim said "NO WE DON'T DO THAT HERE" and give that irony ending. Basically SM died as a rapist ... No he didn't do "raping the rapist" he's the sergeant's rapist. Though at least sergeant got his karma.
