Small typo, which, I think, can be fixed without needing to consult the CM thread. Hit me up if otherwise.


* CompleteMonster: [[CreepyGymCoach The coach]] is a [[BitchInSheepsClothing seeming friend]] to all children, but in reality is a despicable [[SerialRapist pedophile]] who uses his position to [[WouldHurtAChild molest boys]] in his care. The coach has subjected many boys to his depraved actions, brainwashing young Neil and forcing him to lure in other boys and engage in sexual activity with Coach. [[PosthumousCharacter Though The coach has since disappeared from the lives of the boys he abused]], his vile actions tainted and tormented them all for life.

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Whilst some of it may be explained by his childhood experiences, Brian is notably quite awkward in a social sense and generally odd. He may have some form of autism spectrum disorder.

Straight up says it isn't an example


* {{Narm}}: Not exactly this trope per se, but the ending can come off as this, what with [[spoiler:the long and detailed description Neil gives to what happened to him and Brian]]. It’s so long and detailed and [[spoiler:the general idea of what happened was already made abundantly clear beforehand]], so it can feel somewhat over-the-top and forced when [[spoiler:the specifics are delved into]], but you’d be very, very lucky to feel this way instead of being emotionally crushed by it.

* HoYay: Neil and Brian clearly have chemistry, although their shared past keeps it from going anywhere.
