i understand how mc acts cause he acts like a person whos in an emotionally abusive relationship WHICH THEY LOWKEY ARE!!!! hes even getting gaslighted right in his face and you can tell he knows somethings wrong, hes just not sure what like in an emotionally abusive relationship!!
also honestly their sex scenes make sense to me since its omegaverse, they act different and rougher/more animalistic cause you can tell they're both being influenced by pheromones too
