Logic, Lol probably because of the piercing and wig, it's not that easy to identify a person that quick yk what if the author did not draw a chap that that guy is whatever the MC idol's name is, we would just think it's a side character
he has contacts in as well as a wig and the piericngs and whatnot
Gurl even i forget to recognize people i see everyday so canβt blame him
He got all changed up though, contacts, wig, style of clothes and posture can change someone a lot.
How does homeboy not recognize him
