ML's dad needs to be put down and the cousin needs to rot in jail.
The more I read the more those ideas gain strength. Even if it was by the ML's hands (and we don't know if it was) it's that bastard of a "father" doing. How dare he cause MC's family ruin? How dare he let his whatever relationship they had do that to their own son? And how dare he treat his own son that way? 18 years too late already to be put down but he is a rabid vermin who needs to be put down
