i love it when male characters are afraid/upset when the fl is mad at them. it’s almost never stemming from abuse or genuine fear, but from the fact that in itself that they made their partner upset and want to reconcile. doing things like groveling, and putting their pride aside in the name of forgiveness, shows that they genuinely care about their partners feelings in some form. although, iris is right in wanting him to understand what his mistake was in the first place, rather than beg forgiveness. forgiveness is pointless is you don’t know the reason in the first place.
