@tachiyumyum Looking back, it could be that he was just feeling bad for this little girl, who was probably a noble, forced into the life of a slave.
My best guess is that he just took pity on her... It'll be interesting to see how he views her going forward.
It'll still be a while before homeboy looks good in my book. All the crap the author tried to use to "redeem" him has still felt too shallow for now.
Hopefully, they can do something more substantial going forward.
