the whole "Ralsei needs a hat" thing in chapter 5 is so funny and sad when you realize thats just Flowery's way of trying to get Ralsei to realize they dont like to be bossed around
like Ralsei has been a doormat this whole game, so forcing them to do the one thing they dont want to do might help them realize that they dont have to keep being a doormat. likewise him teasing Ralsei because "Don't you like serving humans?" is supposed to make them think about their actions and whether they actually want to serve lightners their whole life as opposed to carving their own path
every hero needs a villain, everybody needs some pushback to grow, and hes simply taking on that role. Flowery does have good intentions, he just has a different way of getting them across
