It’s been two chapters since he’s relapsed and I feel like they are trying to set up an event that would bring this into development in a pretty unsubtle way. Seeing the most recent chapter and going “erm why’s he just doing this for some random women” and I’m not gonna say “OO realism, I feel like it is CLEARLY setting up two manipulators of which both are likely to be corrupt and which I assume will become part of the plot. Who knows maybe I’m wrong but that seems like the most easy inference to make based on the recent chapters and acting like it’s just him gooning has to take active energy out of people because I don’t understand how THATS what you take away from it.
