Please … correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the kid still gonna face off with the torment-the-weak-guy on a daily basis?
They will just turn down the intensity, because he's awakened now, so probably (?) no physical harm anymore?
And his PTSD gets treated by the strange symbiosis with the torment-the-weak-guy?
He's still a small child. How can this be considered an actual solution?!
Even the relationship of Cioccolata and Secco is healthier than that.
