Honestly, can't you even look into it a little before bullying him for no reason? It doesn't take genius to understand that he wouldn't do that. Maybe look into other b!tches???
I'm not defending him or anything but how is he supposed to look into who started the rumour and tbh we readers know mc didn't but the characters don't and people are complicated
Man I feel so bad for him why is he all alone dealing with all that grief and loneliness? Where are his 3 kids
maybe they all have career and families of their own and Makoto hasn't said anything about being lonely as to not bother them (/TДT)/
