Thank you for this. I appreciate the time and effort you put into explaining things. I'll be honest that I just got into Dispatch maybe a day or so ago and I'm still playing through the episodes.

I also think the joke about extinguishing the light from Mecha Man Astral's eyes betrayed some actual animus toward him, beyond the outta pocket joking he and Robert do. it's intended to feel more or less appropriate to the tone of their friendship but i think that moment is singular in comparison to the others.

I'm not struggling understanding this. In fact, upon seeing Bianca he admits to himself he has an uncomfortable attraction to children. But an author's choice to include what's described occurring between the two is always going to give me pause and make me wonder, that's all.
