I don't understand how anyone can think this is "cute" in any way shape or form. She's just being a nasty cunt that's abusing her station because she doesn't want to admit that she is indeed a cunt. It's just an apology in private, that no one else will hear, and she's so inhuman and disgusting that she can't admit she fucked up by torturing and mentally scarring another child. Those back alley fucks threatened to beat, strip, and sell the MC into fucking slavery, and she thinks that's no big deal? Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty. I wish he would poison her coffee and she would exit the story forever. Instead, she's probably going to turn into an insufferable stain on the story by becoming a love interest.
