I know the actions and motivations from the older brother are bat crazy wrong, but if I saw my 11 year old little brother or sister ran away with a 28 (?) year old man or woman, I would go crazy too trying to save them. Thank god for fiction. The resolution was a bit too fast in my opinion. I get that part of "I will trust you and the older man so you can trust me and start anew" but for all he knows, he's leaving his little brother with his very much older crush alone for god knows how long. Sorry, but no. He's still in the body of a 12 year old kid and nobody but them knows about the time travel fgs hahaha This story is far from perfect, it's enjoyable and I like it AND I hope the brother gets side stories with him in much better mental health.
Edit: I kinda get that they wanted to show us that the manipulation from the older brother to the younger one started at such young age, the roots of future misfortunes, and also to witness how and why the vet became free from the "contract" with the woman and started living without regrets much earlier than when he told (?) the story to his younger lover at the hotel but it's weird. The age gap it's huge and creepy especially if they showed us a child and a adult getting closer for most of the story, context aside ofc. Anyway...
