i like the reference to Head Medic's brother and holy shit i hated this chapter in the LN. it fucked me up reading it, and the adaptation did really well. Also, we're about to see Touri lock in for the first time
this went from "honestly kinda mid" to "damn, this is a pretty good short story" in one chapter. all bc the actual npc boss character actually has a personality even if everyone else is useless
