I wonder if the ML really thought of the MC as a substitute. If he did then jeje is right, the mc has way more options than pine for a jerk who uses others as a substitute. If he didn't use the mc as a substitute then all is forgiven. But I feel like this is going to be a central conflict seeing as it's been foreshadowed since so early
