Stockholm syndrome done WRONG

I usually love Stockholm Syndrom plots….. IF they are well executed and the twisted relationship is given enough time to develop. That way the ukr falling for his captor actually seems plausible no matter how immoral and twisted it is… but this right here ain’t it.
He was defensive one second and within 3 panels he abandons all his suspicion and hatred and tries to protect his freaking rapist and captor? Like why? He didn’t give him any grounds to stand on and see some form of romance in his actions… or care. Cuz lemme tell you a warm blanket ain’t no care or romantic gesture.. that’s basic morals.
Also you‘d think a trained agent should have more brain capacity, reasoning and resistance to fall for his captor. And also his strong sense of responsibility should in the first act pose as his dilemma of constantly resisting the treatment and advances of the seme. His character should face the internal struggles of slowly losing grasp on reality and his lines of justice and morality blurring the longer he is held captive and exposed to the treatment until finally he gives in and succumbs to it all.
