Honestly, this part about Trigger asking Chloe to marry him speaks to me on so many levels. The fact that he is gay, makes me identify to him even more. Not many ppl may know this, but there are a lot of cases like this one, where a gay person marries someone they trust of the opposite sex just to live a peaceful and "normal" life, and not have to come out to their families. When you live somewhere where you can't be yourself, you starting thinking of ways to be as happy as you are aloud to be. Many times, I would deny who I am, in an effort to be normal and force myself to be straight, and that has led to a lot of internalized homophobia. When that didn't work, I started making up scenarios in my head where I would marry a queer person of the opposite sex, so that we would seem like a normal couple, but we would not be attracted to each other, and each of us would live their own life separately, without having to deal with the hate and homophobia. Many of my LGBTQ+ friends (mainly the ones who can't come out) have, at some point in their life, thought of the same thing. Overall, I appreciate this webtoon. I hope it doesn't disappoint. I'm ranting a lot, but I just wanted to give an insight on this and share my experience.
