[@JakeTheLateCreates]

This hits home for me SO hard. One of my best friends was accused of assaulting two girls in 9th grade. He insisted that it didn’t happen, but nobody believed him. He was expelled and arrested, his mother lost her job with the school district, and they had to hire an attorney for him, using money that could have gone to his little brothers Leukemia treatments. One of the girls later lost her nerve, admitting they both spread the rumor to see how much trouble he would get in. The family cam out in the end (they basically wrung the district dry for expelling him and firing his mom without even looking into it) but that incident changed him forever. Even with the recanted testimony, it took a while to clear everything up, and he still would sometimes have to deal with people who still thought he was that kind of person. He went from being outgoing to being very reserved, and it took *years* before he started trusting people again. Because of this I never take statements at face value, I hate reality shows because they’re so often centered around lies and manipulation, and HATE people who spread rumors. It destroyed his life, his parents lives, and very nearly LITERALLY killed his little brother. Anyone for spreads rumors, especially if they k ow they’re not true, should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

[@i0nscy]

Is your friend at least better than he was doing then? Because i hate things like that, especially if they have no evidence and people believe them just because they're a girl. Of course you can correct me if im wrong tho i dont know the story

[@SamaelBDS]

Yeah those stuff fucks you up. I was raped when I was younger, so due to this I have a really hard time being comfortable with sexual relationships when im dating someone. After my breakup with my abusive ex (with whom I never had sex due to the afformentioned reason) she started telling people that I had raped her describing it in an identical mirror to what had happened to me (because I had told her about it because I trusted her). I ended up finding out about it when one day as I was out shopping minding my own business, a random girl started screaming at me calling me a rapist and how I should just end myself. Learned the deeper details of her lies from some mutual aquaintences afterwards. After that happened I stopped going to school and wasn't even able to leave my home without puking out of stress for a while. So I fully understand your friend, it's really hard to trust someone after something like that. I'm doing better now though, I moved to another city because even with treatment it was still really hard to deal with the anxiety of running into her and I honestly don't think ill be able to date anyone unless someone manages to truly make me trust them, but outside of that my life has pretty much gone back to normal

When apologizing, ask yourself: Am I doing this to only make myself feel better? Or because the other person doesn't deserve to feel bad? Honestly, the most disgusting one to me is the mom.

And the way it shows his distrust in people affecting more than just his social life was a good touch that not many anime show. Edit: 2 months later and people still be challenging my use of the term "emo". I'm too lazy to change the term but petty enough to make this edit so SHUT UP ABOUT MY USE OF THE TERM I'LL USE IT HOWEVER I WANT TO.

[@wolfehologram3539]

Why now? Because seeing the damage done can take a long while to sink in, especially when -- like the sister and the mother -- you've spent so much time rationalizing away your guilt for being a part of that damage. When he explained to his mother, "I don't trust you not to sabotage me," in that emotionless way, it made it very clear to both of them that he had long since written the two of them off. If the words had been filled with anger, or sadness, it would imply he stilled cared enough that reconciliation could have been a possibility. But that wasn't what we saw. How badly must you damage someone that you love and who loved you for them to simply give up on you like that? How thoroughly must you fail for them to go beyond anger or sadness or hope and wind up at apathy? His sister couldn't understand until he laid it out for the stepmother. "My faith in you has been completely and irrevocably destroyed."

I couldn't agree more

[@Saiyan0X]

I have been thinking for a while how the girls expected him to just forgive them after what they have done to him, and I finally realized why they thought so. From the point of view of each of them, it was "only a rumor", nothing else. If it was only one rumor, he wouldn't had turned what he is now. However, it was not only ONE rumor, but many of them. The accumulation of those rumors and heart breaking caused the MC to simply collapse and ruin his confidence in others. This is why each girl thought they could just ask for forgiveness. They didn't realize the sum of all of their betrayals would have break the MC (heck, I think they didn't even KNEW other girls have betrayed him until they talk to each other). So, when they realized how bad they messed him up, they knew they just can't approach him directly anymore, as he doesn't trust them. They need someone else to "fix him" enough so he could trust others again, and as such he is open to accept their apology, but more importantly, that he "return to how he was before and start trust others". As someone who was bullied by people in the past but have made peace with that, I kind of understand their view. If one of the girls who messed me up came to ask me for forgiveness, she will only ask for HER part. She will NEVER see the whole picture, and how she was only one of the parts that made my life miserable. From her point of view, it was only a small thing, but from MY point of view, she is part of the whole problem. That is why they are surprised when the bullied one wont forgive them. From our PoV, is like they are asking for us to forgive EVERYTHING, which is VERY HARD to do so.

[@bensoncheung2801]

Extra context, cool.

[@kungfutyrunt7570]

Exactly, you need to realize that your past mistake made a huge impact on your friends, and they only way to fix it is by telling people that the rumors are false or anything that could fix your friendship. But if you think a simple apology can fix it, you're dead wrong.

[@gendoruwo6322]

The best atonement is to be better person, to do better. But that doesn't mean you can still fix things with the same person. Part of being an adult is accepting: that there are things... once fxxked... can never be unfxxked. Do better, yes. But with someone else. And stop bothering a corpse.

[@duckINGQUACK]

They didnt betray him. They squeezed the life out of him. When one loses the most important humanities, trust, emotion, affection, etc, they become a husk. Incapable of expressing what they no longer have. These people deserve retribution in full. Feeling dehumanized to them would only be fair. And yet they have the nerve to expect him to express humanities? Its a miracle hes still alive if not without a murder charge.

This was a really good story, It's always nice to see authors taking into account how long it takes people who have been hurt by people close to them to ACUALLY heal rather than just having them accept everyone back into their lives like nothing is wrong, but having two characters like that and seeing both of their healing process differently come together really well

The thing is, He would of been the forgiving type in the past.

I ended up asking another coworker they hate for causing drama because I could ironically trust her to not be involved, she backed me up even identified the hand writing. What crushed me the most is it was a one coworker I suspected involved but half my coworkers I considered friends. Hell the number given was one of their female friends they got involved to play me. I blew it off there to not stir the pot but angry driving home all I could think of is I what I would have felt if took it seriously.

the actual nerve of these girls to let him suffer and expect forgiveness. All 5 of them don't deserve forgiveness

[@thegraveyardgeek7770]

I'm pretty sure the one hit the hardest when realizing how hurt he had been was his stepmom. Sure the three girls felt remorse and didn't intend for things to get so far, but they knew early on that what they did was wrong, and the one who fake confessed knew as she was doing it, so they were complicit. His stepmother thought she was doing what was best for him, and it wasn't until she realized just how broken he was that she understood what her mistake of not trusting him meant. Each betrayer had their sobering moment of realization, but it was his stepmother who truly broke. I do give his stepsister credit for what she did in that moment though. She showed her conviction in making amends by understanding what he needed and breaking her own heart so he could have it. I think that's why he patted her head. For the first time since her betrayal she showed a genuine act of selflessness towards him. No fake apology, no requests to put it in the past, no brushing it off. Just a clear understanding that her, their mother, and the other girls screwed up bad, and he wasn't going to get better while they were still around. I could care less about the other girls getting forgiveness, but as much as I doubt it, I at least hope his stepmother and his sister are able to make amends with him. Also, does anyone else feel like this is a sort of anti-harem. It almost seems like if it weren't for the back to back betrayals this could have easily been another light hearted rom com.

[@Jesus-hu4lq]

Each girl was at fault for this not helping him or telling everyone the rumors were false The one who started it he hurt in childhood she was afraid of being called a liar bullied or blamed for framing him and decided to let him take the fall The one with the glasses she knew he didn't but again let him take the punishment while she was blinded by her popularity and attention she got The step sister and step mother took this rumor at face value didn't bothered to listen excommunicated him for years the mother thought of reputation while the sister did believe he didn't do it tried to manipulate this situation to have him all to herself so tried to make him feel like he was the one in the wrong Even the princess of the class who tried to do the same thing probably Was expecting oh i forgive you but no after the punishment game can't trust even with her reputation Tldr these girls were blinded and feared being ostracized they let the guy take the fall and thought a few years they could all be friends but ruined it the moment they made him the fallguy The "victims" will never understand the accused and what they went through you think its easy for these people to live being labeled because of that people will think this is how the accused is as a person it takes time for some to think probably the rumors are wrong while others will not change their minds.

[@lunarshadow5584]

Not all of those were that planned out. He was already being blamed by the time the childhood friend realized what happened but she was too shy to put herself out there to say anything, and the longer she said nothing, the more she feared taking his blame. Library girl had truthfully thought he was trying to force himself on her because she was too confused by the situation. Someone else claimed that the situation and she was at first hesitant to believe it only for the popularity she was getting swept her up till she completely forgot about what was true or not until the first day of high school when someone else admitted that they saw differently. (so f*ck that person) The sister had absolutely no reason to be acting like that. She wanted his attention all to herself but she hesitated to "eat the cake" she knew she didn't deserve, leaving him to be punished for the lies she added to the fire while the mother was blaming herself for "not teaching him right" instead of trying to listen to THE WORDS FROM THE PERSON WHO WAS THERE (doesn't matter if they're a child, at least try to understand them ESPECIALLY when they are yours) Still not good but can't say that they intended for the consequences that children just aren't equipped to handle. And not defending them either because kids are human too and men have their lives RUINED by the slightest lie, even after the truth comes out. (that's just how much power a woman has in this time of "equality")

And finally i like how he tells his step-mother how he really feels about her and instead of being angry she seems more shocked and unaware of just how much she contibuted to his negative growth. Its a nice grounded story about bulling and moving on.

It's bliss to have a reflective memory, it gives me a good reason to continue this strangely happy isolative behavior. Many people tend to say to never dwell on the past, but the past is what shapes a child. If you grow up in the wrong environment in any way shape or form, that will be reflected onto their adulthood in their mental, verbal, and physical attitude as well as tone. Neglect/abuse, being bullied, having no sense of belonging, a dysfunctional life in general, anything goes in this reality.

they would only think about their ownself but not the whole situation ... that's real world =_=

[@orboakin8074]

Really great story, this one👍👍A few things were overdone and too generic (some characters and their reactions) but the themes it explores (Japan's social/culture issues and loneliness), it does them very well. Plus, I really like how it got a happy (somewhat convinient) ending.

[@ToPlease]

Amazing how people think apologizing will make a difference.😒

[@KIJHK]

Because apologizing is just talking. And talk is cheap.

[@GaryAdame777]

Sometimes in certain scenarios it is best to not talk at all.

[@Chibimano]

After reading it, I was so happy for the MC. Stepmother realized how badly she f**ked up, other girls who screwed him over were happy he found someone to love and trust, and he ended up in a much better place. A shame the story ended so soon, though.

[@RurouniHiro]

I relate more than I ever should to the MC, and find his closing off and pushing people away to be extremely rational.

[@daishaunholmes2298]

Same it's kinda scary how much o can relate to the mc and how much we were similar even when he found himself someone he can trust

[@crazycrazy7710]

yeah that is true, but it is like an unstable equilibrium. If you are not careful, one small poke can break that demeanor. They think they are like a fort but one right push and everything will break down like a tower made of pack of cards. You can see that in his behavior when he chides the girls at school gate, or when he randomly lashes out at others. A narcissist will take advantage of this to manipulate the victims surroundings and hurt them again.

[@shisuib7898]

okay edgelord. ew man

[@FlipTheBard]

Man, the amount of gaslighting and toxicity... They didn't even APOLOGIZE TO HIM, and even if they did, to think that a mere apology woyld suddenly fix all the crap he went through and his tainted reputation is laughable and disappointing. No apology will ever undo what the MC went through, he would need way more than just an apology to make it right by him.

[@daydream8945]

Well, despite how much it pissed me off at the beginning seeing how all the false friends that had destroyed their lives tried to resume back to normal in high school as if they hadn’t ruined his life for years, and all the fake rumors where both were painted as terrible people, and that the false friends were too self absorbed to notice or actually do anything about the rumors, I actually really liked the last parts where both protags found someone they could trust and be friends with in each other.

[@mandriceugen7809]

"He knows they are not a fault" how the hell they are not , because they are girls or something. Try spin it as guys and see if you are so empathetic. They can be sorry , and no one can argue with that , but the guy has all the rights not to associate with backstabbers. And the mom..., i may never have experienced that because i am reeeally lucky with wholesome parents , but even the though of betrayal from close family, the only ones you should trust unconditionally, makes me sick!

[@shughan666]

Man, the family was the worst. The mom immediately believed all the accusations and the sister actively contributed to them. Its frankly amazing that the mom did not realize anything was her fault until he flat out told her to her face how her actions essentially broke him, and even called her out on her pathetic excuse with the truth: it was more convenient for her if he was a failure in her eyes. The sister did at least come to the realization that she did something unforgivable and actively tried to help her brother heal in the end. She also rightfully realized that they could never actively get him to forgive any of them; they were too late, and the only way they can get any absolution is if he personally decides to grant it.

[@helloguys9412]

You can't truly blame them man... They were but newly met step parents.. his father was a workaholic which may be one reason why his mother easily believed what her daughter told her. I mean most children don't lie to get attention but lie to escape attention

[@playerback7722]

..

[@gamermixy.t3664]

​@@helloguys9412 Bro , Japan's work culture is workaholic , you can't blame him for that

[@lumpystilskin5367]

I love how this story isn't one-sided. It actually gives you a chance to know the characters who wronged him, sure they still messed up, but at least they're attempting to make up to him.

[@kratey2313]

You can't see after getting blind. What's the use of their feelings now, compared to his feelings then? It's a good thing that the story didn't go revenge plot, instead went towards taking care of himself with his own.

[@mrsplashman8308]

Way too late btw

[@Gamesmarts194]

Honestly I’m glad they added that bit. They can’t take back what they’ve done to Makoto, but better than them never even understanding how they indirectly have made him emotionally withdrawn. If they can’t accept how their actions affected him, all they become are ghosts from the past that constantly and physically haunt him, and to remind him why he should never open up to anyone. In accepting that, they understand that they’re only ever going to be in his way, and the only way they can support him is by staying out of his way. It’s true that “sorry” won’t fix the damage they’ve done, but they at least know what’s going to twist the knife and what will actually help him heal.

[@lumpystilskin5367]

@@kratey2313 it's important for character perspective, otherwise the whole story will be one sided.

[@ShiNijuuAKL]

Yet they don't actually even confess what they did. If they actually felt sorry the first thing they should've done is to go to every person who misunderstood the situation and explain what really happened and the consequences on the mc.

[@KirieHiiro]

Man this channel appeared out of nowhere making me want to start reading again

[@nediojon749]

I had the same “ask you out as a joke” thing happen to me twice and man it’s been years and I still distrust people who say they are interested in me. It really fucked with my self esteem and gave me real trust issues.

[@KADASUVA]

The MC is 100% in the right. All the people who betrayed him are only being selfish because he is not paying attention to them anymore.

[@gendoruwo6322]

they are afraid to lose him? don't they realize they have lost him long ago?

[@fishoreo]

​@@gendoruwo6322they didn't even realized what they have done wrong. Because as soon as something happened to them when getting involved with him, somehow they got recognition from people at the surrounding. Their excitement over being recognized by other people turned it into ego, which they didnt want to let go. They were happy with how their lives turned out but they completely forgot the relationship between them and the guy. So they thought that they have everything and didn't feel like losing anything. When they realized the main guy didn't talk to them anymore, they wanted to try talking to him again after all the rumours are "dying out". But yeah, they didn't realized how bad the guy suffered in exchange of their happiness.

[@xxgamerpissxx9515]

alr u glazing too hard bro

[@sheilaevergarden3112]

As someone who has a friend who was victim to a rumour, Nah, they ain't glazing. It's been years since that incident, and my friend grew up to take offence to any slight insult because of how badly it impacted her life.

[@KIJHK]

​@@fishoreoAnd those traitors expected Makoto to forgive them like nothing happened....

[@jlastre]

Having been betrayed by family members all I can say is I bet the author has gone through similar circumstances

[@nightworrior721]

I 100% agree. I feel like the MC was the author writing the light novle getting his heart out. That and the way the story came across gave me ptsd of the past cause of how close it was.

[@LunaPPK]

not all his father is pretty cool

[@jlastre]

@@LunaPPK that may be so but my point remains.

[@RitikKumar-pk1rw]

which anime is this, can anyone tell me?

[@TitanKing12]

I actually knew someone who experienced what Mineko went through and he nearly took his life several times. Some people can truly become those horrible monsters seen in horror movies. He is still hurting to this day and now he will never trust anyone the same again including his own family and friends

[@blacklight1104]

Cold and closed off protagonists. I definitely need more of these. Their struggles are far more interesting and their thought processes are far more mature, if not a little paranoid though that is warranted.
