@Moipe while I get where your coming from, I think any regular person would be scared seeing someone getting beaten to death no matter who it is. While he knows what the Ml is it's hard for him to conjoin his gangster side and his sweet personality together, it might feel unreal because he's just now seeing this side of the ml. I personally don't think him saying that's enough i him excusing or defending their actions in any way it's literally just him experiencing the real authentic side of this whole gangster ordeal.
