Looks like ML has been leashing himself down mentally knowing there's something wrong with him, but he can't help letting out his thoughts onto ML.
This is probably what he's trying to avoid. ML's changing because of his behavior. This can go either ways: they go down together or it re-balances them.
This may punch a whole stability onto ML's mentality and gives him the clarity that he has to straighten up. Cos now MC's going to go through changes that he did. It's his turn to lead him now.
