ah thank you for the breakdown!! loved reading this.
also tsuruta doesn't seem intently malicious to me but more like a perfect product of the toxic alpha-centric society
Takatora and Kameyama will make a good couple as they balance each other out. But it is also true that they have completely different values in their lives. Plus their relationship doesn't have any strong base. They started dating because of Takatora's sexual needs and as we Kameyama always had a crush on him. Takatora is thinking practically whereas Kameyama is thinking idealistically.
Exactly
The title and the way it ended with the other omega it makes feel this ain’t going to be his last relationship unless is about to be completed then idk
But I really like them together so hopefully we only see their relationship grow
actually I’m have my tin hat on for this but my theory is: uncle purposefully told Takatora that he was all good (didn’t have any pheromones coming off of him) so that that assault WOULD happen. I imagine his uncle doesn’t know abt the hysterectomy Takatora had and was expecting him to get full on raped/impregnated so that then he could get hitched with the “nice guy” creep
Back on topic for this chapter... I knew that uncle was going to turn out to be no good, or at least condescending, which he was both.
The scrawny guy at the office is a creep, and I think Kameyama knows something is up with Takatora, but aside from politics, he doesn't really try to pry into Takatora's feelings. Yes, we know he probably won't tell his true feelings either way though.
This relationship also doesn't seem like it's going to last basses on the last part of this chapter. It could be a response of him wanting to appear like more of an alpha, but Takatora has mentioned before he even started dating Kameyama, that he wanted to have kids, like a lot of kids, but Kameyama does not. The compromise is possibly having 3, then to adopt when they are much older, then to get a puppy instead.
Both are fine options, but the two of them just want 2 different things, and that is ok.
Having kids is also one of those topics that can mark the end of a relationship if one party wants to, and the other doesn't.
Takatora also didn't seem too content when Kameyama said that everything is perfect the way it is. Like this is how he wants the relationship to be, but Takatora wants more, which brings us to his kind of sorta proposal.
The next chapter lets us know that they've been dating for a long while, like 6 or so years, so the proposal isn't too out of the blue, however Kameyama didn't seem too enthusiastic about it, just caught off guard. Plus apparently it is mentioned in the next chapter that Kameyama started avoiding Takatora after that proposal thing.
So Takatora wants to settle down in the conservative, get married have kids start a family sense, but that's not what kameyama wants, since he's very independent and just now starting his career to hopefully be a future politician.
True the get married have kids thing could be him trying to cling on to what's expected of an alpha, or even a trauma response. He has a bunch of reasons to be traumatized, from the SA just then, the SA attempt on him when he first found out he was an omega, his family including his parents disowning him after years of keeping him from the outside world (cause he did mention that high school was his first real time outside the house, and on his own, since they didn't even let him attend school with other kids), ect.
But even if it isn't any of those 2 things fuling his want of this, Takatora and Kameyama wanting 2 different things in life is fine, but it just means that they may not be the perfect match for one another like they thought.
