to be honest if I was just screwed over, the last thing that would be in mind are personal grudges. nice build up, I legitimately feel bad for our protagonist and can fully appreciate our contrived ML because of his hesitant behavior
oh honey ( yknow, i wasnt super into the idea of ml playing hero, but he Is the superior so its pretty much his job, and the execution was really good... i love that ml is feeling self aware, the next step is retribution for our darling mc
yes it started with you a-hole. almost everyone at the workplace knows you were giving him a hard time and other a-holes would think its alright to put the blame on him since they think you would blame him without checking! you deserve a kick in the ass!!!
