Imo Compton is a lot worse than heejae. Heejae was a pain in the ass but he was honest and it did help his students reach a top level (including knowing that he was an ass too). Compton on the other hand seems kinda convinced he's a lot more nicer or kinder than Heejae, but it just ends up being manipulative. Heejae at least allows his students to have their own opinions when it comes to how he teaches or what they do.
Acc really liking this arc a lot, glad they spent time away from each other for a bit so they could appreciate each other, and I'm glad Garam is able to think independently with a new viewpoint to music (ofc I prefer Heejae to Compton). Rlly excited to see how this arc will end
Omds this chapter was devastating, the final panel of the broken piano so impactful, I loved and hated reading this, I think this is one of my favorites just because of how beautiful it is but I hate how things are turning out
