SPOILERS!
after reading spoilers, i feel that ML's situation is very similar to Mo Ran from 2ha (husky and white cat shizun, SPOILERS FOR THAT NOVEL TOO), especially since they're being controlled by someone else (were already interested/in love with their lovers but were forced to act with hatred towards them instead)
"give us back our child" THEY JUST WANT NEUTA BACK AHAHA
