I really do think the white haired guy kinda got assaulted by the priest? Like it feels like he forced himself into having sex with the priest? The whole priests background is so heart breaking but it could've been shown differently it's so odd as to why it needed to be so grafic. it breaks my heart that the priest thought that sex was the father showing him love but it was just violence masked as love and when he got older the sexual activity stopped and he thought that his father didn't love him anymore. This is genuinely so fucked up aisnkesniqbsiwnsiwnsiejejeieejeirjr
The whole flashback thing had potential but now it feels icky. Was amazing at first genuinely loved it but what is going on??
He's going through puberty and doesn't know how to control it, his own body is betraying him and making him do things he wouldn't have done if the spirit at the river didn't tell him a way to make the Lord his lover forever.
That's why in the main story whenever he's merely sick he'd have sex with that other dude and always end up passing out.
sorry I didn't reply but thank you I was lowkey really confused at first but your explanation was amazing thank you again ^^
