a lot of the comments are salivating on the idea on hitting/beating their future kids need to chill (also kinda concerning, especially if you got spanked/hit/beaten as a child… you a victim… continuing a cycle of abuse… praying for you), SO LET’s RE-FOCUS on a key issue that i don’t think a lot of people have discussed, but the omega parent seems to be the one to often initiate the apology, at least to me, like even in this scenario he wasn’t in the wrong but i feel like the author setups situation where the alpha parent is the hero so it creates the illusion that erases his faults, and i know he often understands he is in the wrong and whatnot, but it would had been nice to see them discuss about it in a different setup… idk maybe im overthinking it but it made me feel icky that the omega parent apologized first to the alpha parent, like i go back and re-reading the previous chapter and the things he said was disrespectful like grounds for divorce tbh cuz if this was irl b/w a women who was victim of abuse and her current parent, that’s a HUGE RED FLAG… idk i just feel icky… and ik it’s just gonna be glossed over but mannnn i wished they actually like addressed it properly than a one page apology… sorry for the long rant but this kept on bugging me and no one commented on this so i just wanted to hear other’s opinion and thoughts…
no wait, you’re on to something… naoto should’ve stood his ground, why did he apologise.
I think you’re not understanding the full context here. Naoto didn’t apologise first because he’s an omega parent. That’s just his personality due to his past trauma. He thinks he’s the one who’s in the wrong first so he needs to apologise first. This is his trauma reaction. These kinds of thing take years to correct. Also in this scenario I think Naoto wanted to apologise because he kind of understood what Hazuki wanted to say although Hazuki used all the wrong words. He got mad at Hazuki for what he said but he knew Hazuki’s intentions weren’t wrong and that Hazuki just didn’t explain his point correctly using appropriate words. Naoto’s reaction was normal that he got mad at Hazuki and purposely used words to hurt him but of course when the anger fades he realises he could’ve handled the situation better on his end without getting mad since he’s the older one. Hazuki also is apologetic because he knows exactly what he did wrong. He said some bad things in the heat of the moment although he didn’t mean any of them. Hazuki couldn’t explain his point properly and choose the wrong wordings. He does Naoto but he doesn’t trust anyone else. He thinks Naoto is too trusting towards people and that he needs to careful because people hide their true intentions. Even recently an alpha student was chasing Naoto. This mixed with his natural jealousy resulted in the fight. I also think they aren’t done discussing the fight. They will discuss it more in the future chapters. Also the point of Hazuki getting hurt was not have him act like a hero but to show although as a young and new parent Hazuki has difficulty with his kids and is clumsy he would still protect them every time.
I acknowledge that his response to apologize first is a trauma response, but this further drives an aspect of my statement, in using this opportunity as a chance for discussion on this topic because although his intention, impact >>>> intention, especially when his issue of jealousy/overprotectiveness has been a re-occurring theme and each time we have a moment to explore the nuances, it’s over shadowed with “oh look tho, he saved XYZ,” idk it just feels a bit repetitive/redudant, like it feels like we were actually diving into deeper topics (not saying anything/names cuz ppl on here can be harsh when u try to make critical analysis, I’m too tired for that..), often times their relationship have semi sooth sailing, at least once gotten together, this was really their first relationship major argument and it was glossed over so quickly, I’m just like oh okie… that not, but as you said it may be that the discussion is not over, but idk it doesn’t seem like any other meaningful conversation will happen but maybe I’m being pessimistic. Also, thanks for sharing in the discussion and being respectful, much appreciated,
Thank you to whoever uploaded, we honest make the joke about seeing you next year for a new chapter, so I’m happy to see it all completed without waiting until 2026/2027, much appreciated!!!
