say it louder for the people in the back because when i look at the comments, i dont think many people understand this!!!
It is! But I do hope Shiro didn't involve that girl..
yeah poor girl, i really hate it when there is a girl that become an escape route so just he can become normal even tho he didnt love the girl ╮(￣▽￣)╭
This is actual abuse, both emotional and physical. Now, that doesn't mean I hate Shiro. In fact, I feel really bad for him. I have seen this exact situation, on more than three occasions before, myself. Shiro is a violent self-loather. When he can't accept his homosexual desires, he lashes out at the object of those desires, but inside his own heart, he is punishing himself. It is a sad and dangerous situation, but in places where homosexuality is not socially accepted, it is common. The ending of the story was the best possible outcome for Shiro and for the girl. If he kept denying himself and living in the closet, she'd have been his next victim when he felt the overwhelming desires of his sexuality. Even for Hiro, who admittedly has masochistic tendencies, this is still a good outcome because if Shiro can accept himself, the self-loathing will subside and the violence will go with it. Not all abusers remain abusers forever. If they can overcome the trauma that is the trigger for their abusive tendencies, often, they no longer feel the need to lash out.
I was fascinated by this story. It was written so well that I could actually feel my heart clench for each character. Even the ambiguous ending seemed to fit well, since the last thing I wanted to see was the girl losing her shit after Shiro broke up with her.
