Not to say they're the same, because they're clearly not. Reina never did anything to hurt anyone, but I find it really interesting how a lot of people say fuck what the ML went through, trauma all of a sudden doesn't mean anything. But if it was the MC all of a sudden everything is because of trauma, and it doesn't have to be in this story itself, I mean there's been some messed up MC's that everyone rooted for and the excuse was trauma. I'm not saying he should be forgiven, but people become emotionally stunted after trauma. They react the same way they would at the age they experienced the trauma. Is it a valid excuse? I mean not really there's plenty of people who don't hurt others despite trauma. But also, there's plenty of people who ignore situations that could end up harming them, or that they're afraid of because of trauma too. I don't think he's the worst guy out there, he seemed to care about the MC, just probably didn't think there was anything he could do. Overall he just seemed really useless in the first timeline. Of course no one has to forgive him or whatever, but to just say, "yeah no, whatever the author tries to add to make him redeemable means nothing" seems a bit unfair. Especially knowing what kind of story you were getting into from the start. Like if someone doesn't like it that's all fine and dandy, but wasn't there like a pilot chapter? We all knew how it was gonna go down from the start.
