And then, because of fucking course, we get this bait just a few pages later.

We don’t have all the info yet, but that was a subtle prompt to consider the question, which I’m doing here. Mainly by “reassuring” everybody that I’m not going to turn out to be LE himself and become the supreme villain that my fictional heroes all have to gang up on and defeat in the end. If that were literally true, then yes, I would be right in describing that here as “dumb.” But then again, you can never totally trust me, can you? This is just some farcical misdirection-slash-admission in plain sight, which is a frequent tool of the story. LE arguably is me, but detached from the literal AH persona by several layers of symbolism and exaggerated, shithead, in-story avatar composites, to create the ultimate anti-narrative, anti-reader, anti-Homestuck monstrosity.
