You made a nice connection. Yeah, he reminds me of Eve/Michael. We gotta remember that during their first "guiding session" Michael was strangling Adam when he demanded to be called Eve. Adam was just a little confused and trying to gain composure from suddenly awakening and engaging in such sexual act out of the blue. But Michael outright strangle him after just meeting him at his door? ehhhmmm, weird, possessive, and even dare say - spoiled plus with little patience when he does not get his way right away. (My alarm bells went off as there has always been the pre-evidence that non-consensual strangulation of a companion/partner leads to murder/feminicide irl).
IKR!! Their look can be deceiving, BUT Michael demanded Adam to call him Eve because he reminds him so much to his cat, It's like Eve wants to take the VERY first place on Adam's mind. And I feel like...The look that Michael gave to Adam when he demands to call him Eve is the same with the way Shuraka look at Tei's family when they're departed to Shuraka's castle. Their "he's mine, y'all have no business to be in his life" look is SIMILAR.

I think... it's gonna be dark DARK. Like.. the same feeling when I read dear zero.. getting deja vu seeing Shuraka like meeting Eve for the first time. Eve making me go "look it's a puppy!" To "NOPE, not a puppy" real fast. Alas, if this story can cure my disappointment from the discontinuation of dear zero, that'll awesome!!
