I don't know what kind of anti-hero suits Bi-Han's personality better, not sure yet, but I'm looking forward to find out!

The “ends justify the means” protagonist. An antihero who doesn’t relish the thought of doing something wrong but will do whatever’s necessary for their happy ending. Example: Sue Trinder from Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith, an impoverished orphan who becomes the lynchpin in a scam to inherit a huge fortune.

The moral ping pong ball. An antihero who does what’s right when it suits them – but commits wrongs just as often.  Example: Lord Vetinari from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, the corrupt leader of the city of Ankh-Morpork who occasionally operates by the book but often does things that are completely against the law.

Your latest post has finally spurred me into asking you this. Based on his bio, his intros with Liu Kang, and everything else you brought up, what do you think about Tomas being the traitor instead of Bi-Han? Or, if NRS really wanted to go all out with the 3D era references in MK1, both Bi-Han and Tomas being traitors, and being the New Era Noob-Smoke? Or Sub-Smoke, rather, due to Bi-Han being Sub-Zero.

Tomas being the traitor for sure would create more surprising plot twist than what we got with not-so-subtly choice of Bi-Han, as Sub-Zero’s betrayal was hinted in his and Scorpion’s biographies way before the full story mode was revealed:

[...] Under his leadership, the Lin Kuei will come out of the shadows and fight for its place as one of Earthrealm’s great nations.

and

But Sub-Zero's unprecedented moves to cast off Lin Kuei's traditional duties have frozen Scorpion’s enthusiasm. He fears that he may one day have to battle his brother for control of the Lin Kuei's legacy.

A hint also supported by the earliest officially shared Liu Kang vs Sub Zero intro dialogues, especially the “Your actions cost lives, Bi-Han!” and “Earthrealm isn't yours to rule”.

So, in all fairness, the most surprising choice of the Lin Kuei subplot wasn’t Bi-Han’s betrayal per se but rather showing us mainly the already tense relationship between brothers, which in my opinion didn’t fully use the emotional impact the shattered brotherhood could otherwise have had. Of course, the game's storyline is a specific medium and with such a big cast, there is limited space to explore in depth characters’ psyche and thus some plots feel rushed to fit the greater scheme of things. Granted, the storyline and intro dialogues provided us enough nuances to know the conflict between Lin Kuei brothers is not so one-dimensional, even if so far only Bi-Han’s desire for freedom and independence is flashed out, while Scorpion & Smoke’s desire to uphold tradition seems to be solely the “good guys” thing. And don’t get me wrong, characters who have a strong moral sense are cool and inspiring on their own, but Kuai Liang and Tomas through the story mode have never given any real counterargument why the tradition should be upheld in the first place or how it benefit the clan, besides it was their father’s teaching.

(And I do find the “Lin Kuei only serves” mindset disturbing, when one remembers the clan members are trained from childhood to fight, to kill, and if needed to die for Earthrealm and doesn’t that resemble the Umgadi system whose members are denied any ties to family as their  main purpose is to serve the Royal Family? There is a huge difference between an adult person choosing on their own to dedicate their life to service in greater good - a very admirable trait! - and teaching children they are destined to be someone’s servants, because it’s the great “honor” and “tradition” that must be upheld. Just saying.)

Now, Bi-Han as the traitor (more or less) makes sense within the provided storyline, especially if we add the expanded knowledge about his motives and goals coming from intro dialogues. In contrast, Tomas is pretty much sidelined through the course of story mode and really, if not for the direct ties to adoptive brothers and intro dialogues, he could as well not be in the story at all. 

If the story played as it played, I fear Smoke’s choice to betray would not have that big impact, unless the truth about Liu Kang’s role as Keeper of Time came out (and with that his part in Smoke’s family death) or Shang Tsung managed to play on his desire to be seen as a true Lin Kuei while he is constantly denied the respect and omitted by other characters. Bi-Han is just a tip of the iceberg in that regard (and yet not once he denied Tomas right to consider himself the son of the late grandmaster or even his or Kuai Liang’s brother). In all fairness, Liu Kang contributes a lot to how Tomas is treated, as Fire Lord, despite the close relationship to Lin Kuei and being implied to be responsible for orphaning Tomas, literally did not acknowledge him in any meaningful way through the whole story mode. He has never called Smoke by his name, nor called him alongside the Sub-Zero and Scorpion (chapter 1 & 2) and despite Tomas’ fulfilling his duty to Earthrealm and helping in direct way to established Shirai Ruy, his deeds are still omitted in favor of Kuai Liang. 

Frankly, despite being one of Grandmaster’s sons, Smoke is never taken into account when it comes to holding any title within Lin Kuei, as Kuai Liang is treated as obviously choice, both as the next Grandmaster of Lin Kuei (after Bi-Han) and the new leader of Shirai Ryu (and let’s not forget Scorpion was the strategist/leader during battle, even if technically this was his first war and there were more experienced characters, including Ermac/king Jerrod.) Kuai Liang is a great warrior, no question about that, but it really feels like Tomas is acknowledged only by his adoptive brothers. 

So, if played right, Shang Tsung (or even Bi-Han?) could talk Tomas into joining “the Liu Kang’s opposition”, as he holds resentment for Fire Lord over the death of his family (though that one works best AFTER the big revelation). Intro dialogues also provided information there was a time he did not consider being adopted into Grandmaster’s family as anything good, which of course is understandable, considering it was Grandmaster's men who killed Tomas’ mother and sister for a simple accidental trespassing on Lin Kuei land. 

Not to mention he was not adopted because of compassion per se, but because of Grandmaster’s guilt. Considering how Tomas went from disliking the man and/or situation he was forced into to almost blindly holding to “tradition this”, “traditions that” mindset, I wonder if we should consider him as a potential victim of Stockholm Syndrome?

Also, what is interesting, Smoke looked up to Bi-Han ("And to think I once idolized you."). Granted, we don’t know how young Sub-Zero acted back then, besides being cold to Tomas, as intro dialogue pointed out, but I think there is something to say about Tomas idolizing the one brother that openly challenged their Father’s ideas. We have of course only evidence of Bi-Han’s criticizing Lin Kuei old politics in current story mode however as Sub-Zero’s “frustrations ran deep”  it is possible he was outspoken about the issue before. So it makes sense to assume the idolizing happened back in the days when Tomas (most likely) resented the man that decided to adopt him after his men murdered his mother and twin sister over a trivial matter - and maybe Sub-Zero’s headbutting with Father was what impressed Tomas the most? As in, however cold Bi-Han was, at least he didn’t pretend everything was okay?

Smoke’s BIO gives him the LOYALTY as a main theme

- and despite what happened between the brothers, he still hope for reunion with Bi-Han and refuses to give up his estranged brother to anyone outside Shirai Ryu for judgment, so we can’t say he and Bi-Han had never been on good terms. 

Frankly, the visual side of story mode adds a lot to this feeling, as with exception of like two scenes (awaiting for Liu Kang/meeting room and joining Kuai Liang and Bi-Han after Sub-Zero’s fight with Nitara and Ermac), Smoke is the one standing at Bi-Han’s right side, not Kuai Liang - the de facto second-in-line of succession. 

I won’t lie, this is pretty surprising detail - and who knows, maybe Smoke is supposed to have soome importance after all and/or is the middle child, thus occupying the more symbolic (prestige) place, the same as Bi-Han was usually placed at Liu Kang’s right side, implying his higher status as Grandmaster.

I, for one, would love to see Tomas either betraying Liu Kang on his own or joining Bi-Han, so we could have a new take on the Noob-Smoke team, this time without Smoke being cyberized and cut from memories but also challenging Keeper of Time's choices by characters that weren't the main villains in previous timeline(s). My heart would be bleeding for Kuai Liang as his friendship with Tomas is a great part of Lin Kuei lore but then Tomas, story wise, had valid reasons to resent Liu Kang (death of family, never being acknowledged). I wouldn’t cross out the possibility of Smoke  joining Bi-Han in later events (or pretending to join to spy on him, because you know, Tomas is the master of stealth, so he should be good at that stuff) but I fear NRS is not gonna give him any meaningful focus anytime soon. Johnny was joking how Tomas “got the wholesome sidekick thing down cold.” but looking at MK1’s story mode this is not a joke, just a truth.

Since with the place they live in and with what they're wearing (that doesn't seem to be likely to provide much warmth), how does Tomas deal through it? Bi han is a cyromancer so he is meant for this while kuai Liang is pyromancer so his abilities can keep him warm no matter the harsh weather. So what about Tomas though? His ability is to control smoke but that doesn't seem to be as relevant (like bi han and kuai Liang's abilities) with protecting him from the harsh cold weather so how does he regulate through the temperature? Is he just forced to be used to it through the cold? Does being a smoke mean he has no affects to any kind of weather towards him. Like, can he control the weather around him to not touch him? or does he just push through it?

The second part, I think, is not needed

[fsfghgee]

Bi-Han's betrayal and character could have been set up better. Imagine if NRS threw in a short scene of Bi-Han asking/demanded for a Lin Kuei warrior (although he's clearly referring to himself), be chosen as a champion for Earthrealm. But Liu Kang just gives him a sympathetic smile and places his hand on Bi-Han's shoulder.

"The Lin Kuei best serves Earthrealm by protecting it. Although I do not doubt the capabilities of you and your clan, it is not your destiny to partake in the tournament."

Bi-Han scowls. The Lin Kuei are above servitude, and their Grandmaster will see that he they will gain the power and influence they deserve.

A moment like this earlier in the game would have set up Bi-Han's ambition and upcoming betrayal better than just having a bad attitude. It could have explained his hostility towards Kung Lao, Raiden, and Johnny Cage (he didn't really talk to Kenshi). Why were these nobodies getting a chance at glory? He's Sub-Zero for the Elder Gods' sake. If anyone could represent Earthrealm's might, it would be him and him alone.

I also have many thoughts about the scene with Bi-Han and Tomas. The look on Tomas' face was hurt, but also surprised. Bi-Han's frustrations were likely reaching a boiling point at that time, causing him to lash out. If I'm right, and Bi-Han's outright hostility towards Tomas in this scene was uncharacteristic, then that could have been better portrayed by showing that Kuai Liang was surprised too.

If this was a normal thing, the Kuai Liang we know and love would have called Bi-Han out.

Fandom jokes aside, I don't think Bi-Han hated Tomas. At most he probably saw him as an outsider and possibly an intruder on him and Kuai Liang's relationship. If he hated Tomas, his position as Grandmaster gave him plenty of chances to keep Tomas as far away as possible, maybe even exiling him altogether. Also, this scene. He made sure they were both okay before continuing with the mission.

When he spoke of his plans for the Lin Kuei, he addressed both of them, not just Kuai Liang.

Idk MK1 could have been so much better man.

Tldr: Netherrealm Studios need better writers.

[fsfghgee]

There's some people who simply think Bi-Han never really loved Kuai in either timeline. Some people say Kuai adored Bi-Han but Bi-Han simply didn't feel the same way and that their relationship was one-sided, where Kuai loved Bi-Han where Bi-Han...simply didn't.

I don't believe that but I think the writing could use a bit of work here because in story mode Bi-Han's interactions with his siblings are pretty much him telling Tomas he's not one of them and then saying 'btw I let Dad die' to Kuai in some deluded hope that his brother would see his point of view. The only noticable moment he shows concern is when Nitara ambushes Smoke from above when they are scaling the walls and most say that doesn't count because he seems to have kicked that rock at Smoke whilst he was scaling the wall.

The falling rock while someone is hanging over the abyss is so popular I can’t even remember a similar scene not using this motif to present the sense of tension/danger. So I guess there is no point in blaming MK1 for going with that visual storytelling choice - though if it was intentional choice of creators to cast a doubt on whether Bi-Han on purpose kicked the rock or not, it is impossible to say. Definitely that moment could be better presented to avoid the confusion, especially since Bi-Han’s foot is clearly placed on the ground before the rock is even shown,

so it is rather impossible for him to kick it on purpose? I mean, the rock would need to start failing before Bi-Han stopped in his tracks, as kicking requires movement of the whole leg and as can be seen,  Bi-Han’s boot was firmly touching the ground while the rock itself appears a few seconds later, like out of nowhere (and in later scene, there is no rocks only snow around Bi-Han's feet, especially compared to where Kuai Liang was standing?) I assume, when Sub-Zero was leaning out, his weight must have caused the loose element to slide, especially since he was the one standing the closest to the edge and once rock slid, he took a step back.

(Yes, I’m that dedicated to do the slow motion rewatch to make sense of what really happened.)

But you know what is more surprising than the rock failing scene? The whole fact that a man who mastered magic and was capable of using his powers to literally fly didn’t use the same powers to save himself, instead panicked and relied on his hands (failed attempt) and knive - and the game subtitles literally describes Tomas' struggle as “panicked screaming”.

So if Bi-Han (and Kuai Liang) rushed over the edge and may accidentally cause a rock to fall, I think him being concerned for a brother who could die is enough good reason to give Bi-Han the benefit of doubt he did not do that on purpose. If he didn’t care, he would not bother to come there in the first place, especially since the enemy was already out there to get them all. Frankly, there is a lot to say about Bi-Han’s claims about Tomas (your blood will never be Lin Kuei), Tomas actually panicking to the point he was unable to use his magic and the fact that Sub-Zero still took him on this top priority mission when he quite likely had more warriors with real battle experience and skills than untested Tomas. On one hand, we could argue Tomas joined because Liu Kang said so, but the Fire God literally not even once acknowledged Tomas in any specific way and as the meeting scene proved, Bi-Han had a say in who is allowed to accompanying him for the mission, as he refused take Kung Lao and Raiden while Liu Kang did not try to force them on him. So I tend to assume that whatever Sub-Zero said about Tomas in regard to his Lin Kuei status did not stop him from including the adoptive brother in his duties. And the falling scene proved he had a point about Tomas’ training and battle experiences (or lack thereof) - even if voiced in a brutally straight up way. 

Generally speaking I think what (and the way) Bi-Han speaks should always be compared to his actions. Tomas not having a true Lin Kuei blood =/= taking him on top priority mission commissioned personally by worried Fire Lord.

That said, yes I agree that story mode should handle better both Bi-Han as character and the whole brothers dynamic but for that the story would need to give them more focus and screen time to establish well written balance between their flaws and virtues instead of the more or less one-dimensional characterization game started with (Bi-Han the angry & ambitious/power-hungry brother, Kuai Liang the honorable “never did anything wrong”, Tomas the loyal sidekick, basically). As the Lin Kuei subplot seems to exist solely to set up the conflict between Sub-Zero’s clan and Scorpion’s Shirai Ryu, I assume that was the authors' goal to achieve, but with such approach to klassic characters can’t say I’m surprised by fandom negative opinions about Bi-Han. 

I can understand the never-ending fan dispute about how much Bi-Han truly loved Kuai Liang, as Mortal Kombat lore is more than three decades old already and we still only got glimpses of their relationship from Bi-Han’s perspective. Considering how many games, books, comics, movies, animations and cards the series spawned in such a long time - and how different media present different “timelines”, it is both impossible and unfair to demand from new fans (or any fans in fact) to be familiar with all possible nuance, details and stories almost forgotten before they will speak their mind. Not everyone has the opportunity, time, energy or interest to expand their knowledge about characters and that is fine, even if we don’t agree with said opinions. I know it is hard to be Bi-Han’s fan, as the man, both as Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot barely gets the proper recognition, be it from fans or source material and this has been happening for many years now - even though he is the first Sub-Zero on whose popularity Kuai Liang grew to be character in his own right. 

I do not have a doubt that Bi-Han and Kuai Liang shared true brotherhood and I’m right now truly tempted to write an essay on why elder Sub-Zero is not - and in fact has never been - inherently evil character and why we should not doubt that Kuai Liang’s love to him is not grounded in some delusioned idolization but for now I wish point out to all doubters this: original Bi-Han and cryomancer Kuai Liang were first and foremost survivors above any simplified fan idea of good or evil nature. The only person that tried to give them a normal (safe) life was a mother and the woman was presumably killed alongside their youngest sister by their own father. Ice brothers were just kids when that happened - and even if the mother somehow managed to save herself and the daughter and hid from Lin Kuei, she was still removed for good from her sons’ lives. They were abducted by their father, brought from America (their place of birth) to China, a totally different land and culture, to be raised in secrecy and isolation from the world they knew. None of them choose to be raised as assassins and as their respective stories showed, Lin Kuei would easily turn against them at any moment if any stepped out of line. In Mythologies, Bi-Han was called the most cunning assassin of Lin Kuei, but in the same game Sub-Zero outright said if he did not fulfill the task, he would be killed for failure. This comes from a man who was openly praised  by the Grandmaster personally and yet his life was the constant fight for survival, the “perform perfectly any impossible task” or “be killed”. If to survive Bi-Han needed to be a cold-blooded person he became one. If because of that he won’t fit into the cozy fan ideas and the silly labeling either “good" or "evil” without taking into account what shaped said character in the first place, then frankly, that is the problem of fans, not Bi-Han.

@antisdonotinteract

(This is all from my perspective and opinions. So, it's not canon but more of what I think. Feel free to disagree! Excuse grammatical error. It was not proof read 😅)

Sometimes I feel like bi-han doesn't exactly hate Tomas. He, himself is afraid to have admit to like Tomas because he thinks that being attached to someone indicates that he'll have a soft spot for them so when he'll lose them, it'll shatter him deeply. Like how kuai Liang was with hirumi, in a way. I feel like Bi han's mindset is that, if he pushed everyone away, he won't have to deal with the grief of losing someone and plus, he needs to be harsh and cold no matter what. Let's not forget that Bi han is a grandmaster, a ruler. No ruler would soft spot can make it out alive in the battle and war. History proves that so bi han is just doing everything to be a good leader to their clan. He's methods are extremely harsh, he is harsh. That's how he got so far up anyways. So he took any chance that indicates the best for his clan. Even if it meant to work with the sorcerer, shang tsung. Sure, he might be greedy or selfish or whatever but I don't think what he did was necessarily from his own wish/emotions but what's best for the clan. Despite him hating their father, he still ended up doing that one thing his father would've wanted which is to rule the clan to success. When their father brought Tomas in as a empathetic way because he was the reason why Tomas's family is dead in the first place, Bi han hated having another competitor. He's already competing with kuai Liang for the role of grandmaster so having some random kid in made it even bothersome for him. Like you said, they probably met when they were teenagers and by then, bi han probably made the mentality of showing emotions as being weak and what not. Basically toxic masculine mindset. Cause I feel like if they met when they were kids, Bi Han would mostly treat Tomas similar to kuai Liang. But since he didn't have any bonds with Tomas since they were kids, he didn't want to just accept someone in. Not only was it dangerous (because chances of Tomas betraying could be high since for the elder god's sake, his father literally killed tomas's family. It's expected if he held a grudge until he knew the lin kuei's secrets to then use it against them.). But with how isolated Bi Han made sure to make himself, it's only expected he wouldn't see Tomas as anything important to him. But deep down, in the feelings and emotions he keeps locked up, he probably cares about Tomas. He just doesn't wanna accept it because he probably hates looking weak. He thinks emotions are probably weak. So he probably doesn't even let himself think through his emotions, just constantly being cold and isolating to not do what he might desire but to do what will end up not leading them killed. In a way, Bi Han absolutely has his own sets of unresolved problems that he most likely doesn't even know nor care about. (Like, therapy? What's that? Absolute nonsense). Very much like an Asian culture mindset. So, yes, I do think Bi Han cares for Tomas as much, he just doesn't want to accept it, because of his own reasons. I'm not saying because he is FORCED to like Tomas. I'm saying because Tomas definitely seemed to idolize Bi Han, therefore do things that would get his attention or something that would Bi Han be proud of and that probably flattered Bi Han, which he'll never admit. Because with the role of grandmaster, of course his loyal servers are gonna be appreciated. 

He says the line "Your blood is not Lin kuei" in a way to "Don't come close to my feelings, I cannot accept them nor can I accept you. I'm doing this so I can lead a successful clan. I cannot allow myself to have emotions like you and kuai Liang as it'll weaken me."

I won't be surprised if all of his "Your blood is not Lin kuei" or any insult against Tomas had more meanings behind them, that Bi Han doesn't want to reveal. He pushes people away, especially Tomas, far away for the sake of not feeling anything.

And I'm not leaving Tomas to be some weak emotional baby. Just because he's nicer than the others does not mean he's not ruthless. Look at his brutalities for elder gods sake, they're extremely harsh- but he sure does remind me of a hunting dog after it happily killed it's prey. Tomas has a backstory of hunting, obviously he'll know how to kill things. He's probably also proud of his kills, infact. I can imagine him being super happy after his prey was dead. In perspective of a hunting dog, that is. He'll probably feel bad about it but he's used to killing so he's aware that he can't put his feelings over it or otherwise, it'll end him getting him killed instead. It's a "Kill or be killed" world out there. He probably doesn't only idolize Bi Han because he's the eldest, or a grandmaster. But because of how strong Bi Han is (we all know Bi Han had so much potential, whatever route they wanted to put him, good or evil but they absolutely nerfed him. They didn't put as much effort with him as much as I would've wanted and brushed him off in a way.). And Tomas being a hunter, he'll obviously look up to the person who's stronger than him and can easily kill. Like a small cub watching and learning from their parents to kill and grow stronger. Hunter dog mindset. And especially since Tomas seemed to really like his family and they seemed loving, he'll only be used to that. What life he lived as a child is what that'll destine him to grow up as so seeing his parents and siblings like that, strong and cool, Bi Han was definitely a role model for him like that. Maybe I'm looking to deep into this but I'm the scenes where Tomas needs to act "tough and commanding", he seems to put on his best act that resembled Bi Han. Basically watching and learning and doing what his role model does. Which is why when he's with his brothers, he'd often just stay quiet and observe, occasionally asking something's but barely much, taking in on how they handle situations and if it works well, he'll act like that too. But when he's alone and needs to lead, he'll use all the information he's observed from his brothers and do that. Tomas probably acknowledges he's feelings, which is exactly why his admiration for Bi Han exists. They both might not have the same mindset, but they both care about each other wither the one wants to accept it or not. I'm not putting Tomas as some sort of shadow or weak, I'm just describing that Tomas does what he's taught to rather than what Bi Han does.

Ps; I can honestly imagine Tomas fanboying over Bi Han in his head, when he idolized him and do things to impress Bi Han to get his attention (because he wants some love too!)

.

........

It's a shame that Tumblr asks can't handle long ones, but it's fine. I'll answer anyway. I really don't know how I can add here. I totally agree with u and I'm glad you want to share your thoughts with me!

As I said several times here, I don't see any hate from Bi-Han when he is talking to Tomas. Not because of ship, I really dont see anything. Feels like to me that some people are just projecting their feelings onto him...

They don't like the way Bi-Han talks to Tomas, so they will make Bi-Han look like a monster (like Bi-Han would beat Tomas up, cruelly mistreat him, etc) and Tomas a miserable and helpless man. Also, I've noticed people who is just painting Bi-Han like a real cruel man just to make KuaiScorp look good and some kinda hero who save Tomas whatever he needs. And I particularly dislike these kinda concepts because they are far from reality...

KuaiScorp and Tomas can be close now, but Tomas precisely said that he is loyal to him only because he is doing what Tomas was taught by his adoptive father be the "right thing". And KuaiScorp didn't do anything when Bi-Han was being harsh to Tomas, I really doubt that he used to defend Tomas from Bi-Han. Especially because he was pretty close to Bi-Han, as himself said to Liu Kang and Mileena indirectly.

Bi-Han was cold to Tomas (Tomas said it) and I can imagine Bi-Han being harsh with him indeed ("your blood is not Lin Kuei" thing and bla bla), but he is trying to make him see his point ("I've gained Lin Kuei's freedom" and such) and don't really wanna hurt him as he is warning him to not stand in his way in two different dialogues.

He likes Tomas. He is a Lin Kuei to him. Not his brother (which never was and Bi-Han knows. It's fair to assume that Bi-Han even knows that his brother was always a cryomancer like himself to this point) and if Tomas didn't talk about his adoptive father all the time they wouldn't be arguing on the story mode at all.

Bi-Han hates his father, not Tomas. And he is mad at him and Kuai because of their "betrayal situation".

He's the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster. Of course, he would lord it over anyone who try to defy his authority. I honestly don't see why he should bend his head and say amen to Tomas or Kuai non-stop talking about father or Liu Kang or anyone. He even said to Liu Kang just let him be (and his clan) if he wants peace. Like, he doesn't wanna fight against Kuai or Tomas. He is just trying to lead his clan to whats best. Obey for obey is not a subzero (or even noob) thing, anyway.

Idolize someone is not a small thing. So, yeah, I really doubt that Bi-Han was such a horrible person to Tomas like some people claim...

Harsh, yes.

Unloving, yeah~.

Disdainful, much probably. And that's it.

He definitely cares about Tomas and would prefer him by his side than be fighting against him.

By the way, I had a fun time imagining Tomas trying to impress Bi-Han thanks to u! haha ^^

Thank u.
