Honestly this is oddly realistic. Not in the typical way but in the way like these kind of characters would have it play out without it being like everything aligned perfectly, and the necessary measures to prevent or do things happened. I also really like their Dynamic honestly like usually when one of those scenarios happened I would want ML to face "consequences" but I didn't feel that at all. It actually worked out pretty well he didn't go all the way, and reeled it back on his own.
