You might want to preface all of that with a spoiler alert. Just in case ^^
Again with this Stockholm syndrome but thanks for the summary and timeline. 4 years, shoot. The mental torture is insane. I just wanna go back to the present because someone really died and I just wanna know if it is Haruka or not or no one died.
I may have a different interpretation of "realizing his feelings" since it is delivered cryptically. What he figured out was that he cannot accept his brother's love yet he still loves him as a brother so he can't kill him or harm him thus he resorted to suicide. Just saying.
Ch1. We see hikaru and haruki both adults wiith a distanced relationship.
-We have a gap of 7 years-
Hikaru and haruki became a family. Hikaru was 13 years old and haruki 23. They have an excellent relationship Hikaru relies a lot on haruhi and and he feels guilty because for haruki he had to leave home. We began to see the problems that hikari has to relate to people and how he feels repugnant to the harassment of his teacher.
Ch2. Haruki realizes that something is not right with hikaru. Hikaru made his first friend then friend's girlfriend had to shit everything. Hikaru went to haruki place. He kiss him and hug him.
Ch3. Hikaru begins to touch haruki and haruki freaks out (so hikaru is like 14 year old? and haruki 24)
Ch.4 The parents leave and hikari starts ignoring haruki. Haruki worries and talks to hikari. "I want to see you nude" and haruki agree. Haruki let hikaru touch it in a sexual way and then he regret
- Then they have consensual oral sex. Haruki regrets and thinks this should not happen again but they have sex.
At this point, if we see it from a third view. A 24-year-old had consensual sex with a 14-year-old boy.
Haruki tells hikaru that they must finish what they are doing then hikaru blackmail haruki.
-Haruki was feeling bad about what he did when hikaru called him and agreed to see him and threats start. And then Hikaru rape haruki. and haruki thought " all I need to do is to bear with this"
And their twisted relationship began.
now. Ch 15 Haruki has like what? 27 years old? and hikaru 17 . They spent 4 years with this nightmare. Haruki he is beginning to realize his feelings towards Hikaru. He has what we call Stockholm Syndrome and he is terrified about those feelings and wants to destroy them.
We are nearing the end, we are only 2 gap from the ch. 1.
