Q1

Why does Golf start bullying Bank after Thara moves in?

Golf bullies Bank because he's angry and resentful about his father's new relationship. Golf grew up in a fractured family, receiving money from his father but lacking genuine care and stability. When Thara and Bank move in, Golf sees them as intruders threatening his position and responds by ostracizing Bank, hoping to push him away and preserve his sense of control over his home environment.

This sparks a slow, uneasy bond as mutual respect gradually develops. Golf's jealousy over Thom pursuing Bank becomes the catalyst that forces him to confront his own feelings, leading to his confession and the couple's ring exchange.
