that was certainly... something, the dull, soulless sex scenes, the fear & guilt that Yui feels that seems to weigh on you through the screen/page.... it hurts, yet, "satisfies" for lack of a better word... like picking a scab, if that makes any sense. as a victim of abuse i can see myself in Yui... seeing him fight so hard to be in a relationship with his abuser, and seeing him justify it to himself and others that way shivers it was awful.. especially since Mai agreed with him, feeding into his desires, instead of telling him why the love he wanted so badly was wrong... i can't say that i liked this. it was tragic and it was horrific, from beginning to end. the best part is when Kei gets tased. honestly.
