I hate this arc so much. Tsuchimiya has way overstayed his welcome, it's not even entertaining, it's like the author is trying to contrive the situation so much to make excuses to keep him around. What's the point?
Instead of reading his sob story to make us feel sorry for him, I'm just going to reread the earlier chapters so I remember what an abusive monster he is. No amount of misery inflicted on him by OTHER PEOPLE justifies the psychological and physical torture he's put Annette through.
Sorry author, his sob story doesn't make me like him or think he's justified for literal psychological and physical torture of an innocent woman.
