god damn what a weak pathetic loser, abandoning his childhood friend just like that without a single fuck given to how she must feel, what a disgusting piece of trash of a human he is, he dont deserve such a strong and loyal friend such as her who is willing to go above and beyond for his sake, even casting aside any concerns for her own well being and safety for his sake, the "justification" the author is trying to give for him abandoning her is just pure shit, pure trash, it shows just how disloyal he is to his own freinds if he thinks this kind of reasoning is in any way or form acceptable.
and what is even worse is that he abandons her in the company of murderers, they tried to murder him and damn near succeded and he decides his best friend is better of together with them? the level of insanity to come to that conclusion is just absurd, he really could not care less about his friend, i pitty her so damn much for being the victim of such a lunatic, she is truly better off without him, it's truly unfortunate she is not aware of just what kind of disgusting piece of shit he is and will go out of her way to struggle so hard to find him and holding on to that small shred of hope that he might still be alive and bet her everything on that hope, truly a trash author if i ever saw one, i would love to get my hands on him and give him a few fists to the face.
