My stomach dropped. The man is his parent basically. I'm realizing this genre is definitely more psychological horror than I thought. I am really curious to know the reason Ray brought him in and the specifics on how and why Ban is so heavily dependent on him.
To me it seems like he was grooming him for a very specific purpose and never saw him as his ward or kid but as a tool. Like an object. And when Ban revealed his feelings-well this opportunity to be able to control him absolutely was too convenient to pass up on. I mean sexual/romantic manipulation is such a classic tool used in SO many contexts where coercion/manipulation is needed to control a person(victim) just because of the very nature of it.
I am excited to see Ray's psyche and intentions be revealed. I love a good deranged character arc.
I am also really psyched to see how Ban socializes more with others, makes friends with the gang, and basically goes through rehabilitation and learns how human relationships work. I find it really refreshing they made the ML a minor so their relationship is pure hearted in the beginning. That way it doesn't come off to Ban that he's using him for something. All Ban knows are sexual relationships devoid of any platonic/romantic feelings. It really does feel like they just see his body. (Doesn't help they all know he's Ray's pet so that's probably why they kept him at arm lengths i mean i just cant see why Ban wouldn't have any friends i mean just look at him-he's fun and quirky)
I think it's really important for Ban to form other cute kinds of relationships.
