Secret Alliance - Lero (8/10)
There's a strange feeling of melancholy here. It's in every chapter. Even the cute ones. If you want to take a good long look at what mental illness is like this is the story for you. It is almost too miserable for my taste. Even the happy ending is stained with years of regret and relationships that can't be fixed.
Ok so the yandere here ruins two families. His own family and his ex-girlfriend's family. The author, Lero, deconstructs what a "yandere" is. The concept is broken down into the basics. What would a yandere be in a regular society? Would they succeed? What would a modern day romance with an unstable person actually be like? The answers...aren't rosy or exciting.
The stalker is pathetic, and that's that. That's the reality. No woman with any sense of self preservation would choose somebody unstable, who is obsessed with isolating them. That is the end lesson the author leaves us with. It doesn't matter if you have a "special relationship" with a toxic person. It is always best to move on.
Sian had a boyfriend when she was young. He had a pretty face and a tough, rude outer shell. When they started dating he immediately started doting on her and spending all of his time with her. Sian started dating him specifically because of his face. He is a pretty boy. His girly looks made him less scary to Sian. Sian's mother does not trust men. She's also rather unstable and controlling, so from a young age she was unusually wary of men. Her boyfriend...was a lot like her mother. He agreed. He also thought men were disgusting. He said he was the only one she should trust. He said she didn't need any girl or boy friends. He said she only needed him. When she tried to break up with him he locked her in a shed, and his possessive rant made her faint from fear. Nothing sexual happened, but that doesn't matter.
Sian was traumatized by the incident because that boyfriend didn't have a limit. Sian's mother didn't approve of him, so her loving boyfriend pissed her off on purpose. Sian's somewhat unstable mother stabbed him with a knife. Horror ensues. Sian's boyfriend told her not to worry. Now they can call child services. Sian doesn't need her mother. She only needs him. He also reveals, in his hospital bed, that he did taunt and terrify her mother on purpose. All of that, on top of being trapped in a shed for an entire night with him...ruined her dating life.
Sian can't even touch men.
It's interfering with her daily life now, years later.
Sian is sort of considering becoming a lesbian, even though she's not into women. It's very depressing. A gorgeous woman named Yuri is totally nuts for her. Yuri is willing to spend time with her every day. Yuri doesn't think her fear of men is weird....and Yuri agrees with her mother. Getting an education is fine, but she should work from home and stay away from men.
Weird.
Deep down Sian doesn't want that. She wants to get better, and be a fully functioning person. She doesn't want to hate men just because of one asshole. She's deeply insecure. Sian thinks she looks like a man, due to bullying back in her school days. It was classic negging. You've heard it before I'm sure.
You're sooooo ugly and boyish. You'd be lucky if I lowered myself to date you. Be my side chick blah blah blah.
Sian didn't learn about the reality of negging and sexual bullying. (and the tactics men use to make woman start dating when they're not ready/settle for men they don't really like.) It's complicated but she never learned that nuance, because she's overly sheltered. That doesn't make her a princess. It makes her a weirdo who sees perverts everywhere.
It's unpleasant isn't it?
You want to think that having a rich mom who pays all your bills makes you a princess.
You want to believe that a possessive boyfriend is a fun thing.
Alas, reality is different.
Meet Yujin. He's a douche who sleeps with women to get ahead. He knows he's handsome...but deep down he knows he's being toyed with too. He wants to trust someone and have a real relationship, but he thinks he's tainted. Dirty. He gets Sian a job at his restaurant, because he can see her desire to change. He's rude to her. He's lewd to her, but he also helps her grow. Yuri and her mother don't want her to grow. They want her to be a delicate stay-at-home-princess for all eternity. Yujin thinks that's dumb. He says he'll respect her boundaries. He lets her use him as a test subject, and she eventually gets used to men thanks to his help.
How touching.
Anyway Yuri is a man named Yul. He's her ex-boyfriend. The one that locked her in a shed. He's been stalking her, but he knows she hates men. He put on a skirt to sneak into her life.
Yujin catches him, but Yul is also Yuri. Sian's best friend. Yul taunts Yujin, and says Sian will never believe him. "Yuri" says "she" will lie and make Sian hate him, if he doesn't go along with "her" plot. Yujin, at this point, thinks he's in too deep. This is none of his damn business, and someone as nice as Sian would never like him back. "Yuri" has been her best friend for too long.
Sian would never trust him over "Yuri".
He lies to Sian, to break her heart and make her hate men forever. Sian was opening up. She wanted to try going on dates with Yujin, but Yujin says he likes Yuri. He says he wants to sleep with Yuri, because she's sexy. That's all he wants. Sexy girls and meaningless fun. Their therapy game is something he's doing out of pity and boredom.
Sian snaps, and she starts dating Yuri, just so Yujin won't start dating her. It's complicated. Sian wants to give up on men now, and she also doesn't want Yujin to have Yuri.
So she lets the stalker move into her house.
After a month we see all of the problems in their relationship, in detail. Yuri is a clingy, annoying girlfriend that makes unreasonable demands. Yuri makes Sian change her hair. "She" makes Sian dress conservatively. She makes Sian quit her job and stop talking to her friends. They do nothing but sit on the couch and watch tv, because Yuri is too possessive to let Sian live.
The horror begins. Yuri's apartment is stalker central. It's covered in pictures of Sian and him back in high school. He masturbates to recordings of her every night.
Sian, deep down, suspects Yuri.
She's been in denial for a while, and she sees Yul.
He immediately jumps on her. He kisses her and says he is the only one who loves her. Everyone else is trash.
Yujin saves her. Yul pathetically begs her to stay with him, but she leaves with Yujin. She starts living with Yujin too. She realizes that she can be herself with Yujin. He is just a man, not a monster. She doesn't have to follow any crazy rules when she talks to him. She doesn't have to constantly pacify him, because he's a mature adult. He is the life partner she needs.
Yul attacks Yujin, but things fall apart. Yul cuts his wrists in the end, and Sian assumes Yujin is the one injured. That frees her. She hates Yul and she berates him and she screams...and then she sees the blood. There's a pause. She knows what she has to do.
She calls his family. His "yandere" persistence doesn't work. Yul was only able to stalk Sian because his father was sending him money. Yul's family isn't loving, but they come for him. They come to the hospital, and tell him to give up on Sian. Yul isn't sexy. He's a mentally ill, manic depressive man that has turned his father into a paranoid wreck. It's heavily implied that Yul's episodes made his sister's childhood hard too.
When Sian saw his blood everything changed. She slaps Yul, to make him listen to her, and she says she moved on years ago. She realized that none of her memories with him were happy. Their entire relationship was just her babying him. She doesn't want to be a crazy persons crutch. She's more than that. She's wasted enough of her youth on him.
Timeskip.
Yujin and Sian are in love. Sian isn't special, pure or a princess. She hasn't completely cut her mother off, but she's financially independent now. She receives a letter from Yul's sister.
It's a real goodbye. After Sian left he didn't let go for a long time, but eventually he got a job. He realized that he didn't need Sian to live, and he's sorry. He isolated himself through his stalking, and his "Yuri" identity. Time apart from Sian made him realize how miserable he was.
The discussion of mental illness here is quite simply too damn real. Yul is never officially diagnosed with shit. Sian's issues with gender and trauma take many years to heal. Sian's mother will likely never stop hating men. Yul's father will never forgive or trust his son.
Sian is never going to get her childhood back.
Run, if someone tells you they want you to become their special princess.

y/n: I-uh, don't need your help...
You don't need my help?
What makes you think you don't?
You're always tripping on your feet and you keep getting bruises on your skin.
Hm, well, I did tell you not to do it again, right?
Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about?
Really?
Well, my darling, I guess it wouldn't hurt to remind you.
Lets see...
Those bruises came from all the times you tried to escape from me, leaving me all alone, by myself.
And your feet keep being worthless to you because of the many times I had to tie them up, very tightly.
You haven't been able to move by yourself since.
And I'm the only one who can help you up your feet.
Now, tell me again,
you don't need my help?
