Finally, after 5 year of my au existing in the wilds, referense for second main character, The Crimson!

despite the endless hamster wheel of suffering spamton goes through in-game, from beginning as a talentless othered salesman, to having his deal implode and he loses everything, to having to be forced into hiding to escape whatever consequences that contract came with, to have his one last chance at freedom be nothing more than a revamped puppet with extra steps, realizing he'll never be free and having to submit to that, then having his former partner straight up not recognize him despite everything he's sacrificed

with one act of mercy he chooses to protect kris and the party, down to how each and every item he's associated with protecting from the cat typing that he's presumably running from. he chooses kindness.
