We’ve seen throughout the past couple chapters how annoyed Bada was getting without Doha being his partner - bc as frustrating as Doha can be with messing up with his plans, he’s smart and clever (he accepted relatively quickly that they were in a game and he doesn’t argue back with Bada’s game experience).
Bada has lived countless lives, trying different ways to escape/beat the game - every life is rinse and repeat (find new clues, unlock diff ways to die). He has to constantly think about what he needs to do next to even get a half step closer to the end of this cycle. He’s tired. Any other person would’ve gone insane with this game. But Doha keeps it interesting - I think Bada likes the thrill that Doha brings, with his unexpected ‘solutions’ or with the pleasure he gets from sex. Bada doesn’t need to follow a script with Doha - and he doesn’t need to play pretend.
