I dont like ml for a completely unrelated reason from this. This boy doesnt need another guardianship relationship where he needs to be feel beautiful and valuable to be accepted. He needs a relationship that makes him remember he has choices,freewill and rights. He doesnt need to belong someone or a muse to be loved and appreciated .He is not an object to be possesed,he is not an art piece to be awed at, he is a human being. I dont like this plot ,it feels he jumped into an asshole to another slightly better asshole.
