luke is actually out of his damn mind bro as an optimist, i understand wanting to give people a chance and assume the best rather than the worst of them, but when you keep having to make excuses for another person's bad behavior, it makes YOU look stupid and untrustworthy ☹ you can't call a person's consistent sabotage of you a mistake, even more so when you literally know that he's doing everything he's done to you with intention because that makes it even worse lmao. being overly suspicious and skeptical is also not a good way to approach others, which is why balance needs to be struck and why luke and andrew are foils to one another. that being said, i would really really really hate for luke to have to find out the hard way that not everyone is deserving of his trust just because they've been friendly to him previously, and i would hope that bruno would reconsider his behavior but his continuing to hide the chip from luke doesn't instill much faith in me lmao. if this turns out the way i think it's about to turn out, this isn't about to end well for anyone involved
