Mc needs ml to sell out his gym so his boss can build big building, that way he can get back to his old position at politics headquarters. Ml says MAYBE I’ll cut a deal with you if you push me around and have sex with me
Sunk cost fallacy is when you invest in something even if its a losing game bc you’ve already put so much effort into it, so it feels like you have to commit. They’re both staking their futures on it. The mc with his job that’s fucked his morals, relationships, dignity. The ml with his addiction to pain that’s threatening his life atp. It brings them together

I have no idea what’s going on in the story, like zero clue. The only thing I know is the ml is a masochist and the mc had a gf. I’m literally stressed for the mc even though I have no clue what’s going on. I’m on chapter 13 rn
