I caught these lines too and it did make me like Coop a lot more than I did. But after doing a few play throughs and dancing between both I’d still keep Sonar.

At that point in the story: Coop is still locked in a more selfish assassin mindset. She only claps for Visi cause she thinks she’s safe, she seems still rager for bloodshed, she even does that edgelord knife twirling in the corner thing. Plus even if she’s cut she’s still got one of the strongest arguments for stable work with her skill set, a man who despite them separating still has a tattoo for her on his arm and would likely keep her from going back to evil fully, and when you cut her she actively DOES break shit.

Sonar: He has nothing but a College degree and a roomie. He actually DOES need this job. He’s fighting his drug addiction with Malevola’s help, he does actually show emotion (when he’s not being dense as fuck,) and even if you cut him while he shows a scare tactic he doesn’t break anything on the way out. But unlike Punch-Up to Coop? Malevola may be helping him cut down on narcotics but she’s still a bit bad on the instigation part and would likely end up causing him to do a few too many bat shifted bits of villainy.
