Pls stop indicating a slap is such a big fck deal. Also don't ignore the fact that he did that because Ian kept going in self pitiable circles. Everyone being sooo sensitive about the slap and totally ignoring everything else. I bet he won't even remember the slap since he's too busy making a once in a lifetime decision
Yo the slap IS a big deal lmao
Is it important to the story, will MC remember it? No definitely not.
I just think it's annoying to praise someone for toxic behavior
If your best friend said they were in an argument with their S/O and they slapped them across the face would you be like "That's not a big deal"
My point is just that it's not friend goals and "slapping sense into people" is not okay
Nicholas literally slapped some sense into him. I'm so glad he cared enough to tell him the truth straight up like he did. True friend. Hopefully this will have an impact and Ian will realise he's worth more and Raymond is making no effort.
