it sure must be hard realizing the whole narrative he built to justify controling his brother is fake lol.
it was never about protection and he'll never be his brother's hero now that he saw him save his own self while he fell dow the cliff.
time to aknowledge that it was all because his own insecurity and not for his brother's sake! hope he has a terrible time ~

ML knows why MC choose to work, and has probably guessed that his problem with ''dangerous situations'' and physical touch is due to a trauma, but he's still manipulating him to serve his own interest
i'm gonna be so pissed when the author is gonna give him his little ''redemption'' arc.. if his reaction after learning about MC's past is ''omg i didn't know you went thru that, i shouldn't have forced you to relive your trauma'' i'm gonna be so pissed cause he definitly knew something was wrong
i just don't feel the tension idk
maybe it's my fault and i should re-read it but i feel like the storytelling is kinda detached from the characters
this chapter is very important for their relationship and the power struggle but it feels kinda bland?
