what if MC just knows ML is full of shit and is playing along with ML's plan of "taming him." Could explain why he's acquiescing and forgoing his usual staunch attitude. Based on his ... peculiar observations, he knows this "taming the beast" plan must happen in order for ML to lower his guard against him.
Idk going off on the creator's attention to detail (the meaning of the paintings), I feel like we shouldn't rush to mischaracterize MC because that'd be underestimating the creator's skills. It's also too soon to underestimate the plot itself
Or, it's late. I'm tired and should stop these late 3am thoughts ( ̄へ ̄)
we need more weirdass fiction in life
