Ugh why do i hate literally every single character. Everyone just forgives the ML and lets him do anything cause he likes the MC even if its lowkey bad. The MC does not need to hear anyone out no matter who it is. He has every right to be angry at them without hearing the reason, and the supposedly good guys don't even acknowledge it and move on to 'gray bad' like its nothing. Which just lowkey seems a distraction from all the absolutely horrendous things the ML is doing to the MC
Despite everything i think there's some things about Crompton that we don't know yet, i personally don't think he is a like a really bad person, i mean of course his action are really weird. But i don't think they come from a place of hatred towards garam. I might be like completely wrong about this though. Although it is pretty clear he despises heejae. And he's the one thats probably most outwards about it. Others are traumatised, but Crompton especially seems to actually do something about his hatred, even giving up on piano completely and pursuing something else. And he has clearly turned all the other students more against heejae. Unlike the other students, i feel like he's the one who has moved on the least despite being the oldest student. And heejae definetly has concerns, he's definetly worried that Crompton might plant seeds of doubt in garams mind, or even use his influence to do something. But at the end, i still think theres a part of Crompton story, or something about him thats missing really. So i think i'll wait a few more chapters for that really
