omg, I'm like the same way...
I feel terrible for the MC, because he's never been encouraged, and been compared all his life...
But, legit, if someone hit me, then told me to see them in class. I'd be like sorry this is the last time. Then, I'd go to the registration and end my subscription.
If it was me i would have slapped him back to be honest.
I know right. But honestly, and I sound like a total jerk for what I'm about to say. Yet, after how he treated the MC in the previous chapter-that is getting him to relax himself and being rather indifferent-I would 1. ether want to distance himself or 2. want to break him down psychologically so that he could never stand or swim again.
Then again, I would not have slept with someone that seemed "indifferent". Just, I feel terrible for the MC. I've met similar people who've grown up bullied, alienated, compared, and not really encouraged. When I see them being mistreated-I get so mad I want to mentally break the other party.
But, then again, it's like it takes two to tango...It's harsh to say. But, both individuals have issues.
As of late we see the swim instructor possibly living a half-hearted or "shitty-life" according to Rino. And we've seen more of the personal and internal abuse that the MC has endured.
Because we see soo much of the MC, we are more sympathetic towards the MC's needs. And I think this makes sense.
Yet, with the recent addition of rino, we are slowly seeing possible allusions to the swim instructor's "issues". BUT, I am not saying that these issues are reason for the MC, to be used.
What I am saying is that in *some* abuse and trauma stories we see the victims emulating the behavior. that is display aggression, or or habits like fiddling with objects. as a few examples. Again, the instructor is **not** justified in treating the MC in such a way.
But, rather I am saying I want to wait and see why he is the way he is. Not all dolphins are abusive jerks.
Oh no! I absolutely agree with you! We can never be sure as to what stuff both the characters have endured!
oh, gosh, now I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come off as combative.
I mean I have the same sentiments as you in regards to the swim coach needing to get slapped. But, at the same time, I'm curious about why he's the way he is and what rino is alluding to.
I'm really sorry.
Oh dear God don't apologize! I was actually supporting what you said earlier!
Wait what???
HOLD MY FISH! i DON'T CARE HOW GOOD YOU LOOK YOU CANNOT HURT THE MC YOU ROTTEN PIECE OF -OF-
