I mean aside from just whispering "he'd just be Osborne"
But he would actually just be Osborne
and the funny thing is that as far back as like, Prisoner's Dilemma, he had a thought that... was like "what if I just. Pretend to be a villain to take all the bad on myself and I'd have to do bad things but people would have a clear target"
Fortunately he was and is too soft right now and also that would be bussing his own unit unless they wanted in on it anyway
RIGHT NOW he is still too soft for that. And he's currently too mad at the system to want to play the convenient arch-villain
but he's not like, incapable, of twisting that way. Not in imeeji probably but it's not an inconceivable character arc for him in general
anyway going that route would not actually stop how much or deeply he cares about people
he'd just, you know, be like, even more dramatic I guess
increase dramatic speeches by ten
and instead of friendship and love it'd just be villain nonsense
because he'd be incapable of not having important people so he'd be like "and we should crush the demons under our heels and rise as the true kings of hell" and then he'd go home and make pizza for people probably
I do think that's not a realistic arc for him in imeeji just because I feel like he'd have to be 40 and tired to finally give up on hope and friendship that much even with constant trauma but I like daydreaming about it
pizza after a long day of villainy is important
do some crimes, come back to the lair, have some pizza
that's so cute, he's so cute
do an evil but bring your kids cute souvenirs
Osborne is cute and Rean would be a cute villain
He's too young to be a villain dad though
