The reason behind the love interest's parents demise as vague. Makes you think of many depressing possibilities as to how it happened.
I do wonder if his parents taught him all about survival skills, why did his mom die quickly? Was she properly equipped but in a bad state of mind when she decided to go out, which made her easy prey? Or was her survival expertise not focused on fighting, but she had no choice bec. she needed to look for her husband.
Maybe she has good fighting skills but just overwhelmed by a zombie horde. Or some shady folks took the opportunity to kill her for loot.

Interests are quite annoying. But this dude is so extra, it's hard to see him as one. I do think rather than narcissism, his actions are caused by paranoia. Afterall, he lives a double life and he probably has many enemies who want him killed. It doesn't help that he's still highly suspicious of the mc.

Being an undercover cop isn't really a good trade off. He'll be mingling and making ties with criminals. If ever he gets busted, that'll put the mc in more danger. I know he worked his life to redeem himself for the mc. But, idk if this work is the right choice. I wonder how the author will spin it.

Bro so dense and doesn't even reflect on his internal monologue.
He felt embarrassed that the mc saw him looking dingy
He says he wants nothing than to look his very best for him
He gets jealous of the mc's supposedly dead wife
He is actively pursuing and seducing him
Dude needs to take a hint of his feelings just as much as the mc
Behind the tatoo is good bec. thats like a life long mark on the body. If the mc has bad memories associated with it, he'll carey that like a scar man.
