He could have just rough them up instead for attempting to... kill them. Allen is no hero. he is just a stupid asshole.
sure he befriended Victor though the troll attack but. it feels empty.
I don't care. If the goal was to create justification or sympathy for either of them it failed miserably because it's far too late and Allen is far too much of an irredeemable asshole
Catching up in one go really makes me feel for Victor in this moment, he had convictions and chose the wrong person but I can understand why he would follow this dick of a hero.
