Hell Ben himself even gets that vibe if I remember correctly
he's still kinda an ass and not an especially good person. I don't mind it too much for now, since most people actually are, but I hope MC gets some character development, too in the end.
I also thought Chris was REALLY sus and I'm still not entirely sure if he's for real... xDD So yeah, I wouldn't have romanced him, so I'm not mourning his route.
