Why Am I the Extra in a Love Triangle?! I Just Wanted a Peaceful School Life! - Chapter 14 - A Moment Together

There would have been something just about them crossing the line and taking her virginity while NTR-kun loses in the way that will hurt him the most, swapping roles in his game. I’m glad he didn’t do that though (yet?) for several reasons:

1. I don’t think she’s actually apologizing for the right reasons. It’s just self-preservation right now, not love for Yukito.
2. it isn’t right to take advantage of her mental weaknesses when she’s this vulnerable. She’ll be consenting out of fear of abandonment, not her genuine desire.
3. doing it without being honest about who he is would feel almost like assault, she doesn’t know what she’s actually consenting to, not really.

I’m interested to see how these two decide to treat Kichiro going forward now that they both understand that he’s a monster. Will they cut him off? Confront him? Full Zamaa?

Lastly, I still don’t understand why Miyuki got off the hook so easily to be honest. Yukito has the ability to reflect objectively on how “the other him” was treated and should be able to at least tell her how that affected “him”, but he didn’t even do that. Instead he let her delegate all of her responsibility onto Kichiro again. She did apologize, but not in the right way or for the right things. To me it still feels like she’s more sorry about the consequences she foresaw than anything and she is acting to prevent that future, not to make a genuine connection with Yukito. Yukito should be able to understand that, I hope.
