So... Slen assaulted Toguto, right? Slen said he needed many partners, pushed Toguto down, Toguto said "stop," the panel faded to black, and Toguto says he hates Slen and will never forgive him for what he did that day. That's assault, right? Or is he talking about how he discovered on that day that Slen was being unfaithful? Either way, I'm much less supportive of them being in a relationship now. Give them both someone less toxic to be with.
I believe its both. Assaulting him and being unfaithful. Though I don't blame Slen for being that way because of Toguto's mindset. But yeah, I'm more supportive of Alta and Illeweth's relationship than theirs.
Slen truly loved him, but Toguto's words hurted him dearly. That's why he hated him & couldn't forgive him, how he only sees him as Another White Deer in a political point of view. So their friendship meant nothing to Toguto that time. Slen started to change, but still deep down wishes for him to notice him from who he was. But Toguto never changed his mindset. That's why Slen was seducing & sleeping around with every potential mates for Toguto (Is probably his way to Rebel against him). But even by doing that, won't change anything. So guess he snapped that time & assaulted him? (Though we couldn't really see, if it really was or perhaps he didn't continue. You never know he might have stopped & run away that time. Because Toguto has mentioned seeing Slen's angry face). Then Toguto woke up from reminiscing the past in his dream.
Trying to find a manga about this really nice high school boy I read some time ago. The whole story is literally about what a wholesome and normal kid he is. The boy was just a normal looking guy with dark hair and glasses. I think eventually a girl at his school develops a crush on him after he helps her. This ringing any bells for anybody?
I think(?) I like that the sin of sloth is manifesting as depression, but I'm not entirely sure. It's interesting, because I don't think I've ever seen it portrayed that way, but I also don't think it's a great idea to portray mental illness as a sin. Maybe the true sin of sloth will be revealed as the inaction of those in power to actually support the boy in a meaningful way? We'll have to wait and see.
i believe bel is taking advantage of priest's existing depression to push him further into sloth, not that the depression itself is the sin of sloth. your idea about the inaction of those in power is really good!! i definitely think we'll be seeing that later this arc especially with bel's closing statement in this latest chapter!
