There is this thing called toxic empathy, where empathy is misplaced and you are giving it to the wrong person. In this case, Luke empathized more with Bruno while throwing his own boyfriend under the bus. I believe this is exactly the author's intention, hence why we have Luke reflecting on his own mistake in the newest chapter.

the ppl saying Luke is annoying genuinely weird af, just cause Luke has empathy for people and doesn’t wanna throw away friendships he's annoying?? Andrews right but blaming Luke is crazy
