At first i was gonna disagree but the more I think about it ... U R SO RIGHT. Like i was rereading it and one chapter where sasya asked why Karel loved him... Karel litterally was just like "You're beautiful". SERIOUSLY? Ofc sasya thought their love wasn't gonna last cause his answer was so superficial. Like even now he won't outright ask sasya about his family cause he wants to *do* him first
Exactly! at the beggining of the story i was literally gaslighting myself wanting to believe he truly loved him... but come on! He isolated him and let his mental health deteriorate, not wanting him to truly explore life and what he wanted... then they reencounter and instead of hellou how have you been, what happened, why you left the house, did you try to contact me etc even if he left him, if he loved him he would be happy to see him and if he was living alright, he is just thinking of revenge and banging him... he only likes his appearence! he never cared to find out how important was dancing for sasya and how traumatic it was he was assaulted in the past for pursuing dancing and at the same time how healing it has been now to be able to dance... this dude hasn't even asked for his family?!? They died in the war... he had nobody except julian my godness... karel is sad that sasya wasn't waiting for him in his bird cage! The more i think about it the more mad i get
exactly. Karel is a huge red flag pretending to be green
The only thing karel cares about is banging and possesing sasya god damn it! dude can't even have a long conversation, a hug and clear things up... i don't think i will see the day when he sees sasya as a human being with complex feelings and thoughts for god sake
