34; CP walks in on MC getting raped by one of his fellow Imae kinsmen (who had just been granted the construction rights, mind you); MC finds out that CP’s mom was unusually obsessed w/ him and died of an illness when CP turned of age (sus), though no one talks about their relationship as though doing so is forbidden (double sus)
