Goddamit Boss! Look at what you did to Tul. Now he thinks you were faking your interest. You made a very sexy man think he is not sexy!

Speaking of sexy...

These two are so damn cute

and I just love their aesthetics together.

You know, I just can't say enough for Tinn's portrayal of Tul. We've gotten zero backstory, but the way his pain is just seeping through as he talks to Boss...

This is a man who has such a core of loyalty, yet you can tell he has been abandoned before and thinks himself unworthy of love. And despite his resistance to Boss' flirting, he was clearly weakening, and starting to feel wanted.

I'm also 100% on Tul's side here. Regret and apologies are a good start, but people have to show they are sorry via action & behaviors or it means nothing. Get to work Boss! Gotta prove that love! Tul deserves it.

Hmm, interesting that they're giving us backstory on Kenji.

So presumably the psychopath was always underneath, and came out once he had a bit of power... definitely a big contrast to Tul, and how despite having reasons to be loyal to Tew, Kenji only sees him as competition.

Oh ffs Tew. You're a gangster, and you didn't make sure he was dead?!

Also Wahl is being super sus here. I do not trust.

Hmm, Wahl, almost like the two you DON'T ALIGN!?!

Oh goddamit, this is one of the tropes I hate the most!

Blerg. Love in Translation did this too. I loathe the "I'm going to fake being an asshole who doesn't love you to protect you" bullshit, because 1) it never fucking works to actually protect the person, and 2) if you were honest and talked it all over with your allies you could actually come up with a decent plan to deal with your problem.

Oh, goddamit Boss!

I'm not going to get super mad here, because abuse dynamics are complicated and I get that Boss has been Kenji's victim for a while. But I'm still annoyed on Tul's behalf. That man deserves someone who will fight for him.

Also, dammit Wahl! I was so close to giving him some credit for acting like an actual friend.

and then you had to start moving in for the kiss. You don't do that when your friend is vulnerable, you little shit!
