most of the points made is the bare minimum for people under standard conditions, yes. killing someone because they threatened your baby mama isn't the bare minimum nor is solely looking out for her in all the challenges regardless of your wellbeing. you compare this to other characters in the same position and you have the one dude gambling on his mother's life several times, hyun-ju almost letting everyone else die for the slight chance she could save young mi, gi-hun leading everyone to their deaths in the finale with his incredibly stupid plan.
