I know that in that one chapter, it was already addressed that Hal isn’t doing it on purpose, it’s just that his entire existence is supposed to be bewitchingly charming ... but he just comes off too strong. Even when he just appears and comes up super close, I just keep thinking about Lippe is physically 5 lol. He comes off as really flirty/seductive, even though the author suggests that’s not what he intends ....
I got “don’t take candy from strangers” and “don’t go to their houses” alarms going off in my head even though nothing bad should happen with Hal lol
