Exactly but I think he HAD to have been abused by someone else in some way to be able to make it up. Like maybe someone in power told him to make it up which still isnβt his fault.

he was bc he said that they took him away when he was 3 or so in the scene after mio's birthday party π

Timeline Q: does anyone know if Gilbert was an orphan at 9 (iirc thatβs when the allegations happened)?

Damn. Okay. So, IRL part of the reason itβs very rare that kids lie about sexual abuse is because they donβt make up sexual encounters *without some exposure to those behaviors*. So itβs ALWAYS going to be a π© either way. If weβre going with the theory that Gilbert lied about the sexual abuse from this specific teacher as a child, it seems pretty likely to me that heβs refusing help for being physically abused now b/c he thinks he deserves it, for having lied as a child. Which is HORRIBLE. Even if he lied entirely when he was a kid (i.e. he wasnβt abused by someone else and lied about who it was), he still does not deserve to be & should not be abused now.
