The introduction to the cousin had me ready to fight. An affluent business man coming from a wealthy family abusing his employees with no consequences enraged me to no end. Realistic and infuriating.
(Honestly hated that the ML came from this background as well cause we know that people in his position in real life are essentially evil walking in human bodies).
Seeing cousin being abused I think cemented the rational behind his anger and abuse to others. Given the nature of his background he was already raised believing he was better than others - and like many other rich people - most likely saw other people below his status as objects. This type of apathy plus his own personal abuse creates the perfect conditions for unashamed acts of violence even in public.
Now in real life I know nothing would change.
I don’t know if this will happen, but I think the idea of a centuries old dragon, powerful and intelligent, with an interest in humans, providing therapeutic support to one of the most cruel types of humans is hilarious.
Granted this is a fantasy story so nothing is impossible. It would be fun to see the cousin mellow out and become a better person who helps others. (And maybe with the help of the main cast work together to save the ML, and also dismantle corporate systems lol).
