I don’t want to start shit I can’t commit to finishing but I’m very much like Nine in the sense that I’ve smothered past relationships to death by being “overprotective”. That said, I have (or at least I hope I have) learned to still be there for my partner when they need me but also give them the space to breathe. I am still very much protective by nature but I’ve learned to tone it down. So I can definitely see how Melissa is absolutely annoyed to death with Nine’s constant “Please be safe, please don’t do this, please stop doing that, I don’t want you getting hurt.” I can see how she can feel like she’s becoming a caged bird. That all being said, Melissa seems to be doing a double take here. Nine has ALWAYS been protective of her. And she never minded before. It was only after he awakened his power and she had her dream/vision that she sudden sees this as toxic. I’m not denying that Nine is coming off a little to ‘possessive’, because let’s face it, he definitely is by using his beautiful face and teary eyes. BUT, realistically speaking, Melissa is also a little toxic? Yeah, this is where my argumentative abilities take a massive nose dive. The ending. All in all, story is still great, and I guess it’s an okay way to introduce tension and conflict between Melissa and Nine.
On the other other hand, Liev is just such a good boiii. 😍😂
