I'm pretty sure this is set in America? So Andrew's concern about Luke not being ok with the gay is hilariously ironic bc Luke is in theater. And as someone from the SOUTH of America, if there was ever a place to find queers or allies, it's in theater class lol.
It doesn't matter what grade either, yer gonna have a gaggle of queers in theater class/club. And this looks to be after flip phones so you're definitely gonna find out in the open queers. And theyre in college so theyre in a bigger city cause no college in tim bucket two is gonna have a community college with dorms. I think Andrew comes from a really unfortunate situation of a conservative household in a not so conservative state, those type of households tend to shelter you from how open minded the rest of the world actually is. (I get he has trauma and no one needs to explain why it is uncertain I know i get it, as a queer in the south if anyone is gonna understand, I just find it kinda funny lol). If Luke is the only gay in that theater class it's unrealistic lol at least one other is questioning or doesn't use labels lol.

Yes i thought the same hahaha it is a lil funny but like i get it.. my guess too is that there is at least one girl who is lesbian, someone else who is bi like Luke and definitely a gay guy but I’m thinking it’s just normal as it should be and nobody really cares or talks about it because it’s just who they are and doesn’t need to be talked about

Yeah theyre in college so it i dont expect them to talk about it as much cause most of them have probably gotten out of their system. When the queer is really loud and open is usually middle school or high school lol. Any stragglers like Luke who realize it as an adult tend to try to figure things out quietly.

This is one of those stories where you'd wanna get mad at the Mc for being so dense but there are so many people giving him the wrong information that it makes sense why he is assuming the ml doesn't like him.
And the Ml is like ones of those letters that say "do you like me □yes □no" except the dumb ass who wrote it only wrote "□yes □no" and is confused why he isn't getting an answer when in reality he never asked it.
The MC it's a certified idiot and somehow all the characters around him fall below the idiot line landing a bulls eye between dumbass and Jackass. They all have the emotional compacity of a monkey who eats his own turds.

I think our MC has suicidal tendencies bc of his low self worth. I think he had them before his heart operation and still has them. One of the most common forms of this that isn't the obvious like actually trying to kill ur self, is reckless behavior.
It's Passive Suicidal ideation, he has nothing to live for and feel like a burden so the idea of doing dangerous thing like this doesn't bother him. For him it seem he made this choice because he will either succeed in helping them or he will die doing so. This makes him feel like his life is worth something until he does die. More evidence is how willing he was to let himself drown. And I have a feeling the accident he was in that got him the heart transplant was likely caused by this behavior as well.

Yeah, As it says in the name it's basically the passive for of suicidal thoughts. Ie. Instead of "i should kill myself" it's "life would be easier/better if I were dead". They're not gonna actively swallow pills or shoot themselves, theyre the type to cross a street without looking both ways despite knowing better.
They have just as little attachment to the world because, just like the active suicidal person, they expect to die eventually. Him helping others until the inevitable is like how someone gives you something cherished before they off themself. That's the vibe he gives me. If that is the direction author goes I'll be very interested bc it makes him very dimensional as a uke.

In the most recent chapter it shows grandpa dreaming about crossing over to our boys dead parents and a snake stopping him and i think that's snakes way of keeping grandpa alive. Honestly i hope that grandpa stays alive long enough to meet his "great grandkids". My mom always told me about how her grandma always talked about staying alive until i was born. So when I was she stayed alive just long enough to hold me and died a few days after. And I hope his grandpa gets the same opportunity.
The only thing i think about when I read this sometimes is
"I'm not upset with y'all because I know you're mentally ill, which is why one day Im gonna open up a hospital..."
