To be fair, they basically grew up together, so i don't blame him for trusting ML. He was like a brother to him HOWEVER i blame him for being so trusting towards professor. And yes, you can feel sorry for someone super naive. Plenty of naive people get taken advantage of and it's sad.
I understand that they’re childhood friends but that’s still very naive to take a pill you know NOTHING about, even his friend tried to tell him that there’s nothing online about the pill.
Yk what how can I even feel bad for a bottom THIS naive??! Why tf are you taking random pills from people, even if you know them that’s absolutely crazy to take a pill a be like “they’d never do anything bad to me” bffr
