It has been suffering after suffering for poor Cleo so far in Act 2. I almost feel like he is basically suicidal and would die if not for his hope of bringing back Kohaku. I wonder however if this will lead him to try and revive Kohaku by giving her back the life she gave him. Also based on this chapter, it would be dope if instead getting his hands on a personal divergent sword, he instead becomes a full on mage with various spells like Kohaku.
