Everyone knew that Shidou Ryusei was an eccentric boy, someone who was not predictable unless it involved violence.
So everyone, when the news that Ryusei apparently had a romantic partner, went into shock.
Who would expect that there was a single soul in the world that could endure the volatile boy's attitude continuously?
The conclusion was simple, it must have been a relationship as toxic as possible, and probably the boy's supposed partner had been terribly manipulated in a relationship.
Great was the surprise, when it was actually known that no, there had not been any kind of manipulation involved. There was no violence at all.
On the contrary, Ryusei seemed like a lapdog after his partner without any kind of complaint or reproach, at their entire disposal.
Nobody understood it, there was no explanation for Ryusei's attitude; but one thing was clear, Shidou Ryusei had been completely dominated.
