Another potential way to look at this is that you can also break a person down by driving them to despair and then pulling them back over and over. I'm not saying that's what she's doing because she doesn't really seem like she wants to harm him.
Great art, great character portrayal. I understand those people's mentality to a T. I especially resonate with the girl. She's doing everything I'd have done.
Idk lol i personally like this MC he looks cutely pathetic. Him sweating and panicking yet trying his best and failed in some ways is still interesting to me.
