OMG YES I noticed that part and I was like huh?? Even with Seongchan and Doha revealing the truth, they made it seem like they were making Bada do all the work without caring about him emotionally, considering they always ejected his tape. I think there’s a possibility that Seongchan’s and Doha’s memories aren’t the full story either.

omg they def had something. it’s possible that yongtaek and bada were dating? yongtaek may have been the only one that saw bada as a human being and not a npc. it’s also strange to me that doha and seongchan barely talked about yongtaek when it seemed like yongtaek and bada were always together. idk, either they’re hiding something or their memories themselves are faulty. atp it seems like yongtaek is the one who knows the most
I'd had my suspicions for a bit there, that Pi Bada was the NPC, not the others. Though I originally thought Pi Bada had become sentient on his own after watching them flounder so long, but them literally forcing an NPC into the storyline is actually great.
BUT that still leaves something weird... Yongtaek called Bada his BESTFRIEND and SOULMATE. Does that suggest he and Bada had something going on? Was he trying to tell him something kind of coded? If he is an NPC... would he really call him that? There is something else going on there.
I was a bit annoyed at Doha for trying to keep Bada from learning the truth but tbh I get it now. Thats depressing. But Its for the best, Bada would have been searching for the truth for the rest of the game.
