Soo heard from a different comment that
They end up together
Friend suicided due to being SAed by group of people I think.
Friend went to meet supposed ML but was then greeted by ML’s “friends”
No ML didn’t know about it. ML only said that friend could come to him if ever he wanted.
Friend felt really terrible after the experience getting SAed and took his life.
Neither MC or ML know about how friend died which is why they’re investigating it.

i NEED spoilers omg
