The real villain was homophobia all along lmao.
Like if Klopf had just not been a closeted, self-hating, prejudice-filled omegaverse equivalent of a gay man then all this could have been avoided.
Like dude, Aeroc likes you and you like him, you both are of good standing (after Klopf got his footing), have power/influence, money...like just be together.
But no, Klopf just has to punish himself and get married to an omega who is just his true love but with a uterus. And then, no doubt, be reminded of him daily by looking at Raphiel. Truly next level sadist.
Also, communication is a great tool in life ;)
P.S. I'm not saying Klopf is the only problem here, what Aeroc did was horrible, although I would argue less so, since he did not intend Raphiel to get murdered - the outcome is what matters in the end, while Klopf tortured and violated Aeroc for years... Somehow I don't feel like the punishment really fit the crime.
The only innocent ones here are the children :(
