Yuujirou was 100% in the right, idk why people feel like Rui would've had to sacrifice his whole career and future to stay; he could've studied design in Japan. Long distance relationships are not made to last, irl ones hardly ever do, the ones that survive only make it because of frequent visits. Humans are a social creature, we form tighter bonds with those in our immediate circles than we do with those we never see, it's just a fact. The digital age hasn't made long distance relationships any easier, they just give us the illusion that it has.
I get that Rui wanted to better himself but his desire to go to France was rooted in his own personal insecurities; he could've just as easily built up his confidence and independence in Japan next to Yuujirou. I feel like after witnessing Yuujirou struggling emotionally and physically with the possibility of separation and then just saying "I understand but I'm still not gonna change my mind" was a bit irritating. I understand why he did it, I understand what his motivation is, but this is stupid.
Why couldn't he just stay?? If his only hang up is an Inferiority complex then just get over it, it's not worth the emotional anguish of your spouse, it really isn't. If we're weighing the different options here based on reason alone, his was a dumb one. I feel like the author was definitely listening to that one song "Grow As We Go" or whatever it's called when they were writing this. Or rather that they should've taken the lyrics to heart and kept our boys together, cause if we're going for realism here then realistically they would've grown apart and eventually either broke up or struggled to recover their relationship from the damage the distance caused. I know fairy tale endings don't happen often irl and things don't always work out like we'd hoped, but I don't think I'll ever not be annoyed at how the author resolved such a heavy emotion in Yuujirou with a simple "I understand but I'm going anyway" and all of a sudden he's chill with it.
