as fucked up as everything in this manga is i still can't help but feel intrigued as to how the story manages to so flawlessly execute the way in which narratives affect the way people act. the biggest reason why the classmates feel that they have the freedom (or rather the lack of moral constraint) to violate kanae as to satiate their desires is under the common notion that "omegas are weak in nature and that they are made for alphas" which seems to be supported by the fact that the biological distinction between an alpha and omega is clearer than day and night. this is especially true with ougi’s competitive nature with his other alpha classmates in trying to pursue kanae, in which such affect his actions and his primal reason of approaching kanae even if it was done with no ill intent.
it also seems to me in this story that kanae would be the catalyst for breaking these harmful narratives down because the fact that he’s willing to go through all that he’s encountered to defy the narrative his environment tries to put around him and reach a happy ending with his partner has also impacted to a significant extent the way his community acts around him. although arguable, i do think hayato would be a good example, as he inevitably realises the consequences of not only his own actions, but the narrative that occupies his subconscious into doing what he did into kanae.
however, nobody is the true good actor in this story either. the way kanae treats his classmates with such kindness and pity even after all he's faced also seems to reflect what society has pushed onto him, which in turn makes him also blind to the justice that he actually deserves. i do nevertheless think that the main point of the story is that nobody is fully conscious of their actions towards one another, whether it be through one's heats and ruts or through what society subconsciously enforces a person to do.

overall, fucked up but insightful read（￣へ￣）
