Is he struggling with OCD by any chance? Because that's what I gathered from Chapter 4. And I must admit, I was crushed when he betrayed me. 💔 He's gonna need more than tea and a gorgeous CG to make up for it lol
not sure of specific diagonsis but yeah he has intensely intrusive fear that is rooted in past traumatic experiences. these monsters are all created from suffering, but it's okay to not forgive them.
