I really love this story and I keep coming back to it because of how emotional it is and the sadness that permeates through both characters through their actions and disposition.
The sadness that Aeroc feels as he witnesses Klopp fall in love with his cousin is deeply touching because you can’t help but feel sorrow for him in his unrequited love. Klopp’s sadness is portrayed through his sense of loss of family when his pregnant omega dies so you feel sorry for him in the regard that he essentially lost his whole world. In doing so he created another family which is a husk of the one he lost, the family he truly cherished with Aeroc’s omega cousin. The family he creates with with Aeroc is a detachment from familial love.
However, there is one thing that I feel as though this story doesn’t build on. It’s the character growth. Even in the end, both Aeroc and Klopp are essentially emotionally as unstable as they were in the start of the story which is a failure on the author’s part. Aeroc ends up choosing Klopp once again proving that his emotions are a detriment to his identity as an individual autonomous person. Klopp basically ends up choosing Aeroc again in his regression despite the fact that he’s the source of all of his suffering.
Aeroc’s regression should’ve been a realization of repetition of his past life; being able to move on knowing that his alignment with Klopp would result in his eventual and expected comeuppance. Moving on from Klopp and being able love someone else who can reciprocate the same feelings. Klopp’s regression should’ve been a restart of his life that he had once lost. Being able to realize a family with his original omega and live life to its fullest, but feeling grievances for Aeroc for the pain and suffering that he had caused him.
The story really missed out on potentially being one of the best BL stories because of the ending of the regressions. Nevertheless, the story was still great at being emotionally captivating.
