If he explained himself, I’d retract my push. Instead he has panicked and floundered, only reinforcing my read.
You coming to his defense seems weird - do you not agree that this seems like a completely different personality? I know you weren’t really keeping up with the last game, but this is incredibly stark in my eyes.
Anyways, defending him against what is essentially a reaction test (which he basically failed) would be scummy if it wasn’t so stupid. Please do explain yourself, because I don’t think you’re stupid. What do you see that leads you to believe Hippolytus is not acting differently?
