Mc says it himself; he never thought of apologizing. He didn’t explain himself either because (from what I understood and remembered) he was still processing things, and he was unsure of what to say to diffuse the situation. The story seems like it’s dragging, but that’s probably because of the one-week uploads (plus the angst and hiatus). Also, the problems faced by the characters aren’t simple. They can’t be fixed with a conversation, so ofc it will be a long journey. Give this story more time to develop, and it will surely be great. :DD

Honestly this story isnt going anywhere i dont know why mc didnt apologize or explain properly when ml first saw the computer files, and now after a 4 year timeskip its just the same cycle of mc making moves on ml, ml contemplating his decision of leaving, ml taking a step forward then taking it back and distancing himself all over again. I dont know if i should let this marinate or drop it altogether cus the pre-timeskip story was good, but now its just stretching it.
