It practically never happened anyway… apparently.

No i totally get what you’re saying. I believe the author had a purpose to put that scene in chapter 1, but by the mc brushing it under the rug while the ml didn’t really, it did seem a bit unneeded as you were saying in your original comment. It seemed like the ml cared more about it and was more affected than the mc lol so the purpose of the scene really only showed in the ml, not in the mc- which makes it seem weird and random a bit.
Was it dropped? Noooo…..
