I wish I had a map for this . Also, It’s been soo long since I’ve read a villain ( Lister), an actual abuser, grade A asshole, and I KNOW and the story REFLECTS that what he’s doing is BAD. We’re not going to have a redemption arc, there’s no excuse for his actions, I don’t empathise and the author isn’t trying to make me empathise either. He’s such a horrible person. I hate him. I hate Lisbet. I hate the chancellor lady. All terrible people!

I don’t like the miscommunication when it’s done badly but it definitely makes sense here.
The miscommunication comes not from them necessarily withholding information for whatever reason plot deems necessary, but from their different styles of dating.
Some of these things you don’t notice early on in a relationship so I’m enjoying seeing them grapple with their different values.
Kyuho stronger than me
Than me too, I fear #-.-)
