Is hadel not traumatized by luca?

Of course he is, he just doesn't register himself as traumatized by Luca, both because he doesn't understand when he's having a traumatic response, and because his trauma from both Hunter and Tul's boyfriend were much worse / more straightforward, so he assumes most of his panics n all stem from those situations.. Also he doesn't want to acknowledge any harm caused by Luca because by the end of it, he's genuinely convinced he needs Lu around and that he can't function in a relationship with anyone else. He's also pretty sure that if he were traumatized by Luca, then he'd absolutely want nothing to do with him, so his lingering feelings enable him to excuse and continue their relationship.

He can get really touch repulsed and avoidant when it comes to Luca, but it comes in waves when he's having a depressive low. If he's low and feeling this way, he can get super snappy at Lu and feel like he's being cornered and preyed on more often. Notably, he often has tactile psychosis that gives him panic attacks, where the. ? ?? touch pattern(?) resembles more how Luca touches him and not at all is reflective of his other abusers.

But there's a lot more subtitles like just his general behavior around Lu n all. Their end dynamic was crafted from Luca. Hadel has much less control than he thinks he does in their relationship in like, literally every way and still doesn't entirely realize it.
