Ima kms if this happens
I’ll join because after all this for Dan to forgive him sans an apology just because of his backstory is gonna make me wanna cry
Like can authors stop this type of development
Nope. Because it’s like a “get outta jail free!” Card. They don’t have to write an impactful apology if they try to justify the character’s behavior through having a “tough childhood”.
I can already tell we’re skipping an actual redemption arc and going straight for the “he’s misunderstood because of his tragic backstory” troupe
