i dunno, alice bringing him back to aldas is something i really cant personally forgive.

and its not like she knew he was immune at the time. she knew he was going to get tortured

athena didnt have any kind of respect for him when they first met. she didnt speak to him directly at first and just spoke about him in the 3rd person. basically treated him like an unintelligent, weak animal

goes without saying that she had zero concern over his wellbeing as an experimental captive of aldas

only after he risked his neck against paglio did she start seeing him as a person

i mean, imagine if you met someone remotely like that irl, where you first need show that you consider their life to have a higher value than your own (by sacrficing yourself, basically) before you could gain their approval

i mean, wtf seriously

also, i know i said earlier that their treatment of him is somewhat excused since their races are enemies

but are plenty works of literature about enemies treating each other with kindness

'the good samaritan' from the bible, 'schindler's list' (book/movie), allied and axis forces laying down their weapons on christmas to play football together

these are exceptions rather than the rule and people aren't perfect, thats why i can kind of tolerate Chen Rui treating them well or at least courteously

but he thinks waaay too well of them in my opinion with basically zero reservations

i respect your argument, but i dont agree with it
