It's been bothering me but was it implied from chapter 1 that the half brother was s*xually abusing Kuro during his confinement? The rope marks from the beginning are one thing but when he returned to the house, the a**hole immediately asked if he was spreading his legs to stay with someone during his runaway, which makes me think that the little shit saw Kuro in a s*xual way. It makes me feel even worse for him, but I'm so glad he found his safe place and his wish for a home did come true. The extra with the 4 leaf clover was such a nice touch, def pulled on my heart string for both of them. They deserve lifelong happiness!
