What a cop out. Damn, I was hyped for this too. Yet, it went from what I was expecting would be a badass scene, to another excuse for the MC to act like an idiot, this one likely impactful enough to last most of the story I'm imagining. Granted he didn't know him long, but still. MC's usual ahuehue dumbass demeaner'll probably take root for a long time again, unlike the cool moments we were having recently.
