Jumping to non-con is a wildly irrational conclusion to come to, like, just totally bizarre reading of the situation, but people don't always act rationally. :D

2026-01-17 17:33:38 +0000 UTCPretty sure rape was never on either of their minds, it's a retort to the whole "leading someone on", that what MEM is doing, an adult woman inviting a teenage boy into her home late at night, could be seen as leading him on from a certain perspective. It's also an desperate attempt at shifting the power dynamic away from an adult talking to a child into one where Aqua holds the reins while he is opening up. He feels insecure and vulnerabler so he tries to assert himself through a dominant position. That doesn't invalidate you ick obviously.

2026-01-17 10:50:28 +0000 UTCI'm sure r*pe is about 3-4 steps beyond Aqua's intentions in that scene. You have to remember that MEM is someone that he has always been able to have real conversations with. Pushing her down is something that he wouldn't do with just anyone and he probably knows she isn't going to read too much into it. All he really is doing in that moment is making a retort to MEM saying that he lead Kana on by inferring that she could be leading him on if you look at it from a certain perspective. Even if you believe he is inferring a physical relationship here, I think he knows MEM is smart enough to realize he would never do anything against her will, but that is just my opinion.

2026-01-17 03:01:18 +0000 UTCI'm not one to 'correct' someone's interpretation on something, but I understood something completely different which I think heavily impacts the takeaway from that scene. So here's my two cents: In that scene, I really don't think Aqua was trying to imply r*p*, but instead that he's not fumbling about in romance. He's highlighting that in this instance where an outsider could say that this looks like the older wiser MEM is leading on the naive, impulsive, young boy, instead he's able to flip that dynamic and now it looks like HE is the one taking charge and leading her on, showing that he's not so naive as to be led on and be lectured by MEM. His last line in the scene confirms, [now who's] "leading ME on?" At least that's what I understood was happening.
