[Confused]

thats an oof.

 

[Tersione]

Well, shit. He was a danger in the end after all. But just as they got out of the frying pan, they're now in the fire. The one man expressing his distaste over their actions gives me hope that him, or people like him, will try to help these two escape.

 

[r4ttlesnake]

Yo what da fuck just transpired afront my visage

 

[Akikako]

No violence on the loli, please!

 

[Hioriomi]

PLEASE DONT HURT THESE PRECIOUS BBS

 

[Snakeykid1]

These guys are just following orders

 

[KAFi]

This is heart wrenching

 

[Grimmery]

Just when you think they catch a break *sigh*
🥺

 

[DeOneChester]

Damn strange man. Every chapter with him I was scared for when he was gonna snap and try to violate the loli. Good riddance.

 

[Wanderdoodle]

The dude was clearly some homeless guy who never felt love from others before. Kinda sad really. I honestly hoped that they’d become friends then that fucker decides to fucking rape a girl. Not cool man

 

[sachimu]

From the previous chapters’ comments, I heard the girl gets/almost got raped. After that, I was on edge per every chapter, anxiously anticipating for the horrid scene to occur.

Never thought the boy would murder him. Although, it doesn’t seem completely improbable. Also, just when I thought those two would have a nice, heartwarming moment-

 

[ihatethisfeature123]

that's FUCKED

 

[sirflimflam]

See, that was exactly the shit I was seriously hoping they wouldn't jump to when they handled the old man. I knew it from the very beginning they were going to go there since it's one of the most obvious ways to evoke a reaction from the reader, but it's basically the go-to panic button in every "dark" series so all I can do is lament they couldn't think of anything else.

Pretty much have the new guys figured out too, I'm sure.

 

[Dopple]

The man was an animal. Pitiful, yes, but he'd thrown away his humanity, and at the end of the day what happened was justice.

 

[Doomroar]

From the frying pan into the fire, this time without a knife, harsh shit.

 

[pinkeree]

@sirflimflam yeah it's the go to button in all dark series but that's probably because it works and it's not about the moment specific which makes it work, the the details culminating to the moment. At first, you're introduced to the man and you're suspicious but those innocent eyes make you want to trust him and then it crumbles at the moment and then he explodes. I thought that was perfect execution, because what else could the series have done? Some series just squishes it in there to fill out all the checkboxes of a dark series but others know how to incorporate it and make it work.

 

[Kampfarsch]

Well that was predictable

 

[Pink95]

I hope these babies will find somewhere safe. I knew that old guy was a creep. Good riddance.

 

[InfiniteVoid]

Jesus christ what the fuck man?
