0:00.0	Hey, Desirvin listeners. I thought I would answer your emails, the emails from patrons and YouTube members, annual long-term patron O, she wrote in and said, when I was 12 or 13 years old, I developed a crush on my friend's older brother who was 20. When I was 12 or 13, I developed a crush on my friend's older brother who was 20.
0:25.6	He loved playing video games and watching anime, and we spent a lot of time together.
0:31.6	My memory of him is that he was very immature, but handsome, well-mannered, and calm. As for me, I always felt
0:40.7	older than my age, so I made it clear that I liked him. We started secret, by the way, trigger
0:47.7	warning on, well, I think the, it's clear. I think what the trigger warning is for.
0:56.7	We started secretly meeting for walks. We started secretly meeting for walks. And over time,
1:04.1	we kissed and expressed our feelings for each other. When his mother found out, she told us
1:10.8	that it was terribly wrong, it was unacceptable,

1:49.7	this day, which it was. As for me, I definitely didn't want to take the relationship any further than

2:02.2	The whole situation quickly became overwhelming for me, and I felt like a hostage to it.
2:08.2	I'm glad his mother put a stop to it.
2:10.4	However, I must say that my behavior was strongly influenced by the manga's and anime I was reading, where relationships with older boys were
2:20.4	often common and romanticized. What do you think of this situation? End of email. Yeah, okay,
2:28.5	where to begin? There's a lot to unpack. I'm not going to be able to, um, recently I made an episode in which I
2:37.5	answered emails and I felt like I was yammering too much. So I'm going to try not to do that
2:44.3	this time. So I can get to more emails primarily. But in brief, if we look at the age difference, if we highlight that, we hear
