Also, uh, "drug money"? 0_o

True, but they've been here for a full 1/3 of the series, and their motivations are still nebulous and backgrounded, but in a way that's struggling to connect with the SOL betrayal arc which is pushing them even further away? I'm struggling to explain, but it's much like Jin's revival in 01 ended up being - a question that, sure, might be answered some day, but the longer it goes, the more I feel I'm just not supposed to be asking. (Being nebulous here to both avoid spoilers and to reflect my own feelings at this point in the show, I don't want Die to find out the Book Gangsters are just trying to void their library fines from Tassel.)

The Drug Money is a Dopants joke, seemed like the weirdest MOTW thing removed from context. Could've said "existential breakdowns" too tbf.

Meanwhile oh god we're doing American comic books
