I dont think he shut off bcs he was raped. It was more like hayden keep asking him for details but when he heard the details and the brett’s plan, he doesn’t like it and doesn’t agree with him. so, brett is just like “told you so that this was gonna happen” (but im low key sure that this was all some sort of manipulation moves by brett).
anywaysss, in regards to his calmness during and after being assaulted. I kind of understand it in the way that like what is panicking gonna help you do if you know you cant overpower them other than getting more beat. so he’s just taking notes of things thats gonna help him exact revenge. but idk if this is just him suppressing his feelings or not tho. cos seems like both his dad and brett are high functioning psychos~
Tbh I’m not used to the bottoms having trauma or something mental health issues after being raped cause that rarely happens in BL, the rape and all is just overlooked. While I thought he was too calm at first, I also feel like maybe the way he grew up had to do with his emotional “apathy”. I don’t believe he isn’t affected by what happened at all, he is but it’s suppressed.
Lmao high functioning psychos. Could be! I forgot about his dad honestly, how is he?
I don’t remember. After the bottom was raped by those guys (assuming multiple or just one?? Either ways ew), he shut off from the top, why?
Is his calmness towards the rape due to his emotional apathy or something? I think it has to do with how he grew up, his childhood. But I am not sure.
