We are in full agreement! But with a wife like Lacey and the group of friends that he has, I feel MC will not have a smooth sailing ahead.
Mia is the major problem for me, she is just awful, and even when sabotaging Lacey
(Lasts pics shown to Mc out of jealousy) and even herself (She bringued kelly, another competitor for MC attention, into the story) , she gets rewarded instead
added to the sharing plan.
Anna lost some points, she has got too close to Lacey and got herself sort of an enabler, or at least, she dosent discourage Lacey bullshit actions that much. If she did it with a egoist logic i could undestand it ( If Lacey fucks up hard enough, he would leave her and i could get my opportunity) but she kind of allows it out of fear of damaging a weak friendship.
Veronica just kind of goes with the flow. She dosent interact much, and there are times were she dosent even know whats happening.
None of them would steal Mc out of friendship to Lacey.
Now kelly is a theat for Lacey, she is what Lacey could have been, and both are aware of that. She is trying to rope her into the group to defuse that threath and move her into the safe group. A keep your enemies close sort of thing. Pressure her into behave.
You are also perceptive by recognizing that MC was damaged from the beginning we discover that Lacey being narcissistic in nature actually abused MC compassion to turn him into a emotional slave.
The even with brain damage and my just fucked up actions hurting you, my oppinions are better than yours acttitud kinda give it up, just not adressed/slapped it in her face until Act 2.
He was "used" for comfort and safety and discarded like and object in the past. Then lied so many times even over the same topic, manipulated and abused, cheated, diminished until his self worth is non existent, his trust even in basic premises gone, his fears weaponized against him, his own oppinions ignored and overruled, and more and all that with a nice coat of "it for your own good, to fix you." Nah Lacey, you are dragging him down instead of building yourself up, well maybe she is trying to get better, but shes still bringing the Mc to her level.
Worst part, all of it is working. He is a shadow, an empty shell varely capable of functioning, and even worse,
he is beggining to rationalizide Lacey plan of sharing him, as long as he dosent love other girls more than Lacey, and that she gave him that control over her. And she is gonna use that to reverse the logic and get herself out of the college past, cheating with damian or situations in the future.
I remembered the term later, so i edited the text. He is got Infantilized. Among other things.
For Lacey's therapy I hope you didn't take my comment as an insult.
Nah, no offense given. Like i said, love discussions, and you have always been respectfull with me.
