PSA to DMMd fans:
Seriously, you still bitter about Noiz “apologizing” to his parents? Newcomers are preeeetty late to the discussion.
Noiz “apologizing” meant nothing and everything at the same time. Because owning up for leaving Theo to deal with their parents alone and essentially letting Theo to take on responsibilities that weren’t his IS VALID.
The parents certainly don’t feel apologetic and Noiz knows it. He knows they don’t deserve the “apology” and I’m pretty sure they realize that. “At least I’M owing up for screwing up family”. “Apologizing” automatically makes him the better person in the room.
And why do you act like he’s submitting to his parents’ will? Doing so would’ve meant becoming the CEO-in-training which *spoiler warning for the post-end drama cd* HE DIDN’T. That would’ve meant staying at their parents’ house and HE DIDN’T. That would’ve meant accepting that dumbass proposal of an arranged marriage so that Theo could get married as well aaaaaand I’m just now repeating myself.
Noiz stood his ground, is owing up by helping Theo (even he calls their parents out) and clearly DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEIR PARENT’S BS.
Why you keep acting like Noiz not cutting his family off permanently was a sin?
Forgot to add something: For those that say “Theo can visit”, you DO know he’s a minor, right? The parents still have the final say on what he can or cannot do at the end of the day. They can’t really control Noiz that much since he’s a legal adult, but Theo doesn’t have that freedom yet.
You really think they’d let the CEO-in-training, and a minor no less, to go and travel the world whenever he pleases? Nah.
The sole reason he starts fighting their parents back is because of Noiz+Aoba’s presence and influence.
If you think he should just pull a Noiz and straight up leave Germany and their parents behind, then he’d just be perpetuating the problem from Noiz’s arc that even Koujaku (unknowingly) calls him out on during their “Rib vs Rhyme” scuffle: “You’re just escaping from the problem, not addressing or solving it”.
