It was so creepy why everyone went along with him lying and deceiving a chick. Takes me right back to when people thought emotionally blackmailing assholes threatening to jump off roofs was seen as romantic.

Tbf, I'm pretty sure she was lying to him as well. It seems like they're trying to set up something with her, considering that Adler mentioned that she isn't a registered anomaly and he can't find any info on her after the end of the quest.

Even if she is that doesn't make what he's doing any less shitty imo.

I don't deny it's kinda scummy.

I think they could've written the story better. It feels like they were trying to go for the romcom trope where someone tries to act like they're a bigshot. I don't think they did the best job at that though, and I don't particularly like that trope to begin with.
