In Chapter 99, Daon’s former friend describes all of them as weird. I think this is the most accurate description of the three of them, considering the friend’s perspective of the events prior. It’s honestly comedic because after non-stop reading I really stepped back and agreed, these guys are really weird. I was rooting for the co-worker guy because he was the only slightly rational person. I didn’t even care if they ended up together, I just wanted him to be happy. If being with Daon made him happy then so be it. That hand-holding scene in the theatre was wholesome and cute and that’s what built the expectation I had for the relationship, but that crumbled and faded away as the story went on.

I’m assuming it’s a good feeling for him because of the fact that Slan feels anything towards him. He doesn’t care if he is feared because having Slan fear him is better than having him feel nothing at all. Not to mention how powerful it is to be feared. Sad to see that words that should have made him think about his behaviors only fed his ego and complex. I like this sort of villain because he’s realistic. There are so many people like him. You walk with them. I hope what I think makes sense.
