I didn’t mean to up vote, I don't really like the way they dealt with the whole situation. Like the author making the readers want to empathise with the ml but I don’t think it was done effectively. For me personally I'd have rather a chapter in the ML's POV and see his suffering and regret rather than the mc making assumptions and the author being like “he's 100% correct”. But none of what happened is Stockholm syndrome.
I can't deal with this Stockholm Syndrome.
