As I said I agree he shouldn’t have said that but I also don’t think that Kawachi should ignore Senpai like he has been. It just appears he is choosing sides or has anew favorite. If I were senpai then I would be hurt too and say things I don’t mean. Senpai is not a bad guy just not sure where he stands now. The whole situation is f*ed up.
I think the real issue was that Kamachi here didn't even understand the first thing about senpai's comment... He's always been such a lonesome, inexperienced guy, that he's probably used to taking things over literally: the type of person that needs stuff explained to them in the most direct way possible (amost as if you were talking to a child), because otherwise they will not get what the real point is...
In this case, for example, the real point was not the one Kawachi thought (that he should stop hanging out with this new guy because "he's a bad guy" according to his reputation) but actually that the should stop hanging out so much with him that it takes away from the time he spends with his own boyfriend. I know it seems like there's very little difference... but to someone wh's so naive and used to taking things at face value, there's probably a world of a difference.
I agree, I would be hurt by the way Kamachi is acting.. so even tho Sempai said a more negative thing, Kamachi's response was clearly like choosing sides with Azuma and walking away from Sempai.. he could have just said that's not true I know him. ( even tho he doesn't).. I would love for Sempai to have another friend right now, but don't think that will happen.
I think Azuma is exactly as everyone says based on his "friends with benefits" comment (not really joking) and his comment that Kawachi was looking at senpai too much then ignoring senpai was there completely. Senpai shouldn't judge but Kawachi needs to not be so trusting and naive that there are people like that out there. I really feel sorry for senpai. He probably feels betrayed because Kawachi is so easily swayed. Kawachi better realize soon or else he will lose the one true friend and lover he cares for most. I admire Kawachi for standing up but he didn't respond appropriately either.
