I feel so bad for him, poor Liam ;_; he's such a good friend, even if said friend is supposedly a love target. May he found a good partner that can be the fourth-wheeler of the story.
It's normal not to feel so much sympathy over someone who've made you feel like shit a hundred times. Sure, the sadness is there but in this case, if you're not affected, it's not your fault
The idea that a child would be in place to see gunshots and violence sits very bad in me
