From how he talks he's suspected for a while, he just didn't want to believe it. Getting proof at this point is more of a relief than a shock. Evidence that he wasn't paranoid, Rio really was cheating on him.Rio's husband is like way to chill over this like bro is acting all like
well
darn i guess
Yes, they do. Some women are just like this, there's no point in thinking about it rationally because it's not a rational thing to begin with, it's an emotional one.Feel like Rios husband has reasons to know divorce laws more than just happen to have studied them for law purposes. Feel like he's hiding something due to that pause panel. But regardless, whether truthful or liar, he's much smoother than Rei in convos.
I'm guessing the "flirt with Rei" plan is to drum up jealousy with Rio so that she will want to pull a "You think you're hot shit Mahoro? Just you wait bitch." Type of move.
But man Rio has got to be one massive bitch if she truly put that note on Mahoros door. Actually more diabolical than Kyouka.
Off topic but....do women really engage in these type of....idk what to call it.....displays of dominance over their peers in a romantic sense? Like this seems so extra. Putting so much risk just to be a vindictive bitch in romance? Cheating is one thing, but the extra mile to give Mahoro a lead on it to start everything off? Like why? If you didnt do that you probably would've been in the clear
I was thinking about something similar too.This guy is shady as hell. Wouldn't be surprised if he was also having an affair even before Rio, and that's the reason he looked up the law about it.
That's sorta the relief I think @PsyFarrow was talking about. This may be weird but closest I can think of is when someone who is end of life/terminal dies - many folks have already gone through half the stages of grief by the time it happens.Almost like if everything was a piece falling into place more than finding proof of his wife's infidelity.
