Like I wouldn’t be surprised if the rebellion was his doing, like bro, it was just too convenient that the only road that was safe was to that particular place, but they didn’t really sus him so I was like, oh okay maybe it’s just me, but booooiii here we are ahahah, damn how da fuck is this gonna turn out
He can’t be a ghost or something like that, like other people saw him, not only the girl in the store but also the MCs coworker, so there is definitely something going on
