holy shitballs I think I just noticed why the opportunist is so willing to kill us during patd. it’s not just because he’s a piece of shit and an absolute bastard /pos so the moment he gets access to the driver’s seat he will backstab us immediately (or maybe it is that idk)

something to note is that despite the differences in each variation, opportunist is still a “survival” voice. this is a consistent trait of his across all routes. in the witch he straight up admits he’s a compulsive backstabber because “it’s how we survive”, during the wraith he is DESPERATE to get on the princess’ good side, and in a certain way in hea he doesn’t want the lights to go out and insists we’re happy, which you could see as a version of wanting to survive. in the wild everyone’s sort of the same though so idk much about that one. anyways, the point is… it seemed a little out of character for him, because he’s trying to get *us* to survive, not just him, since we’re technically one. so why the hell would he turn on us? then it hit me:

it’s because we were willing to kill ourselves if it meant killing the spectre too. our life was never a priority in our eyes. we took the chance we got and us dying alongside her wasn’t important at all.
