Kaiser and Ness' relationship is complex. You are aware you can still be friends/best friends with someone who is mentally bad for you, right? Ness' perception of their relationship differs from Kaiser's. But saying that Kaiser doesn't care for Ness is just plain wrong.
It’s not complex, you’re making it complex to justify your delusions. Kasier was treated like scum so he treats others like scum. It’s that simple. I don’t think there’s one person that Kasier would consider a friend or loved one. Kasier is growing and my biggest concern now is that he will out grow Ness and no one will be there to help that poor kid. Also it may be because I binge read, but I just think it’s crazy how fast people moved on from Kasier throwing that drink in Ness face. Between that and Ness horrible childhood I’m just praying for the best.
I made a comment regarding the relationship of Kaiser and Ness. It's true that Kaiser abused Ness because that's how he was treated. What's not true is that their relationship isn't complex and that Kaiser doesn't care for Ness.
As someone who had a trauma bond with a previously close friend, what I had with her is incredibly similar to what Kaiser and Ness' relationship is. Saying that it's "just Kaiser hurting Ness" ignores their characters and complexities because people have multiple sides and the words "Kaiser abuses Ness", "Kaiser cares for Ness", and "Ness doesn't care what Kaiser does to him" can CO-EXIST. If you go back to previous chapters and read them thoroughly, you can see that in his own sick way, Kaiser "calms" down Ness during his outbursts.
Can’t believe some of you thought Kasier and Ness were bffs. Please, I’m begging you to stop reading all those toxic romance stories.
