Why does the ml seems to stick care for his ex gf

its because of her history of being suicidal or just really shit mental health if I remember correctly. I don't like it either lmao

i def don't think he has any feelings left for her that are romantic. he kinda got that aorted in the last few chaps and has feelings towards taerin. However, he seems to also have trauma from his past realtionship with her when she would self harm by starving and faiting.
