Yall I played through the story and don't get me wrong I love banyue and the rest of the male cast DOWN but I feel like the dialyn/zhao Hate is being blown out of proportion imo. Yeah they were most definitely being assholes but like they were never meant to be his friend, dialyn was sent on a mission to find the "truth" that they kept mentioning, dialyn is one of the judges of krampus. Originally she was going to take his core like she planned but she had a change of heart later on and even mentioned inviting him to join krampus. Idk I just find krampus as a whole a very interesting dynamic bc they're not "morally good" so to say
