such an excellent chapter. Brett revealing his hand to Hayden in many ways and how strategic and calculating he is (love a smart pretty boy); people are quick to say that Brett is manipulative = bad. But I think that's a disservice to the story (which isn't about one character being "bad" one character being "good"). Brett has goals, he sets out to accomplish them. He's open about enjoying Hayden's company and wanting to be close to him, and HONEST to Hayden about how he goes out of his way to "earn" Hayden's company and to make HIMSELF seem desirable to Hayden. Brett wants to be "fair" and to provide value to Hayden in exchange. Yes, things are transactional to Brett, but it's also bc Brett can't conceive of being UNCONDITIONALLY desirable to Hayden (like he needs to give reasons to Hayden to want to spend time with him)
But instead of seeing Brett's efforts to spend time with him, Hayden feels manipulated and tries to establish his agency and control (ie. I CHOSE to be here, it wasn't just you; Brett: ??? ok???). It's because Hayden views "sincerity" and "feelings" as something that is uncontrolled and not strategic - like for him, you don't plan these things out; things happen spontaneously and impulsively. This is all tied again to how Hayden feels especially out of control over his sexuality whereas Brett seems to handle his own - and that of others - with ease. It definitely doesn't help that Hayden still ended up hiccuping (ie. his instincts are still out of his control, and within Brett's predictions/control).
I think both perspectives make sense! They're both such different ppl who are miscommunicating and missing each other's cues. Brett continues to feel like things fall predictably within his control; and Hayden feels entirely out of control at all times. Just great character writing I seriously adore this so much.

People are complaining about the story but how about just not reading them?? It’s clearly a psychological story, someone could be releasing trauma, raising awareness, or hell even if there isn’t some deeper reason, it’s just a story. Just like any other horror, it’s going to have things you may not like to see. The person who wrote Saw (literal torture scenes for 666 minutes) isn’t a murderer so why would this creator be any more messed up? If you want fluff read fluff. Simple as that.

him being like you didn't contact me for 30 days but HE also didn't contact brett for 30 days so he clearly thinks all the power is in brett's hands. but from brett's pov hayden just shows up and is cold and aloof like no i have to leave rn even though brett invites him to stay to hang out, so brett is like "oh are you here to talk about scheduling for your rut?" bc brett probably assumes that's what hayden wants.

I saw someone say in the comment section how Bakugou falling into the pit was symbolizing how hard he fell for Kirishima or something...I thought that Bakugou was jumping into the pit to save/ find kirishima. Those moments they showed were Bakugou falling in love with him, to the point where he would risk his life for him and in the present scene u see him jumping into the pit, risking his life, because he believes Kirishima is down there...TT

wait yall I CRACKED THE CODE
remember how they never found kou's body? it's likely because he went on to live in the present from then on!!! kou went back to the past to settle his feelings AND continue the timeline AND THEN went back to the present. cause again, NO BODY WAS FOUND EVEN UP TO THIS DAY!!! that could only mean he went back to the present, with shirou!!!!
this is definitely it everyone, im not huffing copium here!!!! it makes the most sense!!!!!!!!!

this author is tooo good at sketching out personality and character through dialogue. love subverted expectations (everyone expects hayden to get jealous and "protect" brett) but brett takes care of things himself, hayden might be jealous but says "you're acting as if i have the right to get jealous" very calmly. i wonder if it's implied that maybe brett KNEW that the dude would follow him and kiss him and if he wanted hayden to see.
safe word dialogue is chefs kiss, esp the implications of "honey" being the safe word. you can tell hayden is definitely developing feelings but he's guarded bc he's been warned about what brett is like/he has an impression of brett as well so he's not letting himself fall. meanwhile, brett is still mysterious - what is he thinking exactly? he still seems so flippant about everything

I feel like the Dricks are like now serving the purpose the dragon was for the aristocracy. Like how when the he ml is in heat he can’t control himself and his idea of sex was purely for procreation. And also how he blindly just slaughter those people without even knowing the truth. lol this took quite the turn but idk if this made sense

My guess was completely off!!! Kudos to the author in making this story actually unique!!! I feel so bad for both the dragon and Jahid, tbh idk if I'm liking Cyric. But I think that's the author's way of making actually good characters, because Cyric is pretty unlikable right now. He's prospered from the royalty's greed to the point where he denies the truth, plus he is so painfully ignorant and innocent that it makes him a prick. He leads with emotions more than he let on.
I mean I get him killing the people because they WERE going to sell the info to other kingdoms or whatever...... But at the same time, that's not the main reason he killed them. He killed them because HE thought it was so absurd that the dragon would be bound and raped, then killed and eaten. He wanted to believe a fantasy story, rather than reality. I get it but damn you're dumb LMAO
