as an aroace person some stuff about being left behind, not being part of a 'family' etc. hit pretty hard, even though I'm not even a person who cares that much about being prioritized.
The story is okay, though the last action plot is entirely unnecessary. And the couple is nice but there's not enough transition from the 'hate' to love. Eveything happens wayyy too fast and they jump into a relationship so quickly despite supposedly being at odd for 10 years. Even with hidden feeling being harbored during that time, the change just doesn't feel realistic and organic. Honestly the friendship parts were probably the best part of this story and Stefan is undoubtably best fiend to ever exist. All in all I'd give this maybe a 7-7.5/10
