i genuinely hate davepeta so much, i could write an essay on the subject, but ultimately it boils down to the fact that it was an insulting way to "end" davesprite's arc
i'm not even a huge davesprite guy or anything but it's this weird moment where every motivation and feeling davesprite has had prior is obliterated because it's easier than writing a proper ending
it's just such a culmination of the failures of act 6 character writing
