I don't know what you mean by having no way out. The finding a successor? Yeah that wasn't really mandatory in the short term. It's more like someone telling you, you'll die in 70 years due to hypothermia. So you start stocking up today on lighter fluid and heat packets for your hands. Lucky for you lighter fluid will last but those heat packets will probably be trash when you try to use them (70 years from now).
However I see no reason not to team up with rabbit. People and their righteous bullshit about him being a murderer? Did the rabbit kill the MC or even attempt to kill him? Not really, because he couldn't. The rabbit is just another lifeform on the level of humans. We've already been told he kills (allowed) a single person every round as his 'food' in the form of energy absorption or something.
So are you a murderer because of that cheeseburger you ate yesterday? I'd say us humans are much crueler based on the way we 'efficiently' farm our livestock.
Fact is humans are mainly only empathetic for very close relationships, reason most people don't give a shit about AIDS in Africa or mountains of electronic waste/plastic poisoning millions in India/wtv 3rd world us 1st worlders use as our latrine.
Anyway Reaper hasn't updated on here? 2 chapters are on their website if anyone didn't know.
