The brat Pakis is still an idiot for ignoring his mom's words. She seemed like she had some good principles, like not taking blood money and being indebted to the mafia (they're connected to nobles), so she should have taught her kid some valuable lessons and morals.
But Pakis is a lying little sh*t.
He probably thinks his mom is an idiot for not taking money from his deadbeat dad too. This is the kind of character that if they were older, they'd almost be irredeemable... sadly no matter how irritating he is and how much I want to hate him, he's still a kid. I can't even blame him too much, which definitely sucks.
Sin of beating up a helpless, malnourished orphan kid, taking credit for their hard work and being envious of that same kid.
Like bro, how can you be so hateful.
