It'd have been really funny if he had fallen for her friend, only for her to actually be lesbian. Just to add another notch in his failed to start crushes
Snake is funny, I just can't imagine her character actually commiting to a long term relationship. She'd dump him once she was bored. Imagining a flash forward of that happening to mc is pretty funny.
My issue is they don't set up any stakes for why skipping the magic attack is risky or how much time it normally takes or anything. They just waltz in and massacre everyone, it's kinda boring.
