This boy doesn't need to beat the hypnotism to confess when she can just hypnotize him to confess whenever she wants. Heck, she's probably done it once already.
At this rate none of them will confess! And yet they draw closer to the endgame
On a serious note... what is it guys and their competitiveness? Why do they have to be better than the girl, to be with them? This is something that always seemed irrational to me and somewhat sad too why is it a problem if the girl is better than them at 1 thing?
Men are competitive, with a desire to prove themselves (prob. due to evolution) and that becomes aspiring to be worthy of the girl for ex. Urguayan Luis Suarez meeting his (future) wife who was from Spain, dedicating his life to football (at Groningen, Ajax, Liverpool) to get to Spain. Women (and having kids) force/inspire to men to push themselves or at least be a better version of themselves (- biting people) in most cases
for every example of toxic masculine culture, there are examples of men getting their life together because of the women in their life. It is a bit mad but I suspect it ties into our ancient brains
Haha he's not trying to be better~ He just wants to be able to stand beside her proudly. It's something he implanted in his head as a measure to be worthy of her.
