hiii, im kind of new to enstars & i've taken an interest in Tatsumi. I hope its ok to ask u this bc idk who to go to abt Tatsumi !
i know a tatsumiP who keeps saying Tatsumi was ab*sed in his childhood, & i read through Obbligato, & i cant find out if it's true or not ?? 😭 it is hard to tell since es characters go through a lot, so I'm wondering if I missed something ?? sorry for the trouble again ;;

hii please don't worry, i don't mind! so, tatsumi's situation is a bit complicated.. but in my personal opinion, i don't know if i can confidently say he went through the abuse this ask seems to be implying? he did go through incredibly unfortunate circumstances in his childhood due to being part of a historically persecuted religion, he describes living in precarious situations such as living under a blood-stained ceiling, and he grew up with the fear of being killed like a martyr due to his faith. but when it comes to his family, the most one can say is that they were strict towards him and neglectful towards his feelings (such as him not wanting to spread his religion and being dismissive towards his desire to become an idol) but i wouldn't go as far as calling them abusers, especially since we don't know much about them as people yet.. though i would say that he was later exploited by the industry and that what happened to him was a form of abuse, but that was later in his life so it wouldn't be childhood abuse. since i don't have the full context as to what the tatsumiP you're referring to considers childhood abuse for him, i can't say i strongly agree or disagree either way, but that's my take on it as far as i know!
