I wouldn’t say he didn’t age past nine. In I sense I get what you mean. He’s not mentally stuck at 9. In one of the panels it mentions him being smart but uneducated, I think that sorta explains his restraints. He’s able to learn past 9 and think like an adult with the right education. IDK SORRY I can’t really explain it
okay so i just read this story completely. it’s pretty good. i LOVE the MC. i’m mostly put off by the weird child-like characteristics of the ml. while i don’t find MC a creep for getting together with ml at all, because he probably just finds him immature. it’s just as a reader knowing that ml didn’t age past like 9 kinda makes the whole thing uncomfortable? it would’ve been a more interesting story if they were more like best friends or smth like that. i still think the story is well-written given the constraints of being a short story, but the sexual aspects of it does diminish the reading experience
