You can hate it but itβs unreasonable to expect him to do what you would/want (him) to do, it literally goes against everything he wants by asking him to become drug distributor or prominent person in the fog land + heβs not a person who would hold drugs over someone in return for a favor, at least, heβs not desperate enough rn to consider that he way I see it. His characterisation clashes too much with what you want of him

I kind of hate how the main character knows how to make liquid fog. And yet it's never really brought up, like if anything he could have been a good distributor and maybe a person who can extort it for favors and etc.
I just don't like how they waited until now to bring it.
