a kid can't groom another kid guys that's not how this works. I can understand if some of you feel uncomfortable with the age gap but they obviously didn't have any kind of romantic/sexual relationship with each other they were neighbours friends "brothers"

No you can't groom a child when you're one again that's not what grooming means not every kind of abuse or manipulation is called grooming, even if one is a high schooler and the other one under 10 you can call it emotional manipulation you can call it abuse, sexual assault or whatever but they're minors even if they're apart in age. Grooming can be much worse it's about power imbalance etc.

might even have to add grooming is something that came out as term because of pedophilia it's connected, it's about making a minor depend on you an adult, in their behaviour it can be daily life it can be sexual there's more depth to it you know which makes it so so much worse it's like the ultimate form of manipulation that you can mostly only do if there's a big power imbalance in age in finances etc.

right, thats why hes hesitant to be with him despite being an adult, because he atleast see him as a kid (at this point of the story/flashback) thats why the narrative (present) is making an effort to see mc as an adult
i swear the comments on mangago has some of the lowest literacy and even throws words such as grooming and pedo
