There seems to be a lot of hate for Touya...

...but I'd ask, what exactly do you expect him to do?

People have wants and needs, and they don't disappear merely because they're inconvenient.

Maybe I'm wrong but it just seems like people expect him to endure isolation for an absentee girlfriend. He tried that, and started coming apart. He tried staying busy, and people he cared about ended up becoming collateral damage. He tried talking to anyone that would listen to him, but one is a teenager who thinks he's just fantasizing and another is an ice queen who doesn't know how to be there emotionally for a person. Humans are social animals, and the alienation Touya is being forced through does destroy people.

I hear him being called weak or wishy-washy or a cry baby. He's just human. I think maybe people are letting the extraordinariness of his circumstances distract them from the fact that he's just a guy, and he's desperately lonely.
