Hello! Lemme try to answer a few based on how I interpreted it in hope to help you understand
- Clark's character looks like a classic manipulator. He's actively observant and calculative of other people's reactions (esp ones he is consciously trying to manipulate) this is most likely why he has a response for everything.
- He reacted like that because the 4th person's death completely broke Alex's modus operandi. This made him seem like any other killer out there to Clark (which disappointed him greatly since he thought Alex's killings were orchaestrated like a carefully painted picture that met certain criterias). The 4th person's death was completely an impulse in an attempt to get Clark's attention, which for him must've seemed really petty/mundane.
- Tommy must've thought Clark was grieving. If Clark didn't call in sick then he would've prolly looked for him & busted Alex.. this would lead to them both getting wrapped up in the case as well like what they talked about while drinking (which is why Clark insisted that Alex lets him use his phone).
Hope this cleared up a few things (⌒▽⌒)
Yeah that's true i guess. GOOD CONVO BRO!
Overall I really enjoyed this story. It's been a while since a funny yaoi like this. I like stories where there's a bigger plot than just the characters getting into a relationship. This one checked all the boxes
Everything is great and I liked the art. It's not your common looking pairing and that was enjoyable.
The one question I need answered is: Does Clark still have feeling for the doc? I feel like he does and just doesn't know how to treat him right or just be in a relationship from the first place. But he loves him. I can't forget about how he was rushing to open the door for him and hit his toe. He gave him a ring, loaned him money, cared for him. It wasn't just revenge for a friend. He also did things just to please him.
Anyway....
Overall
Alex is a fucking cutey im sorry but he's extremely beautiful. The dialogue was weird I can't understand how Clark has a response for everything. Some actions or reactions were not understandable like how he reacted when Alex killed a fourth person. However, I really liked how the author explained the feelings each character had in detail and why they had them. I loved the doc and Tommy, but I don't understand why Tommy didn't come to rescue Clark even though he had the address (ik he called in sick for work and turned off his phone).
This was totally not what I expected. I expected a small reporter who just wants a good article and a scary serial killer who starts taking a liking to him. Until the first few chapters I thought it will be similar (the whole have sex with me and Ill tell you the story), but then!!! Instead of glorifying serial killers, actually mental problems started to have their toll on Alex and he killed more. Cuz he's psycho!! Yes exactly you can't be in a relationship with a serial killer!! So shit went down and people suffered the consequences either losing their life or a loved one's.
