Thanks for the chapter, but UGH, the way they interjected in the middle a dramatic moment with "power of friendship" bs really screwed the scene. If he had saved if for after instead of wasting time letting the kidnapper have more time, (although it likely won't matter much since the party is OP) if the author decides to pull some bs then that time wasted touting friendship is severely misplaced and would be a direct cause of said bs
