I really like him! Lol
It's yet another plot point and character that just disappeared in the eons of time and seemingly made up on the fly story development between updates.
Dude drugged her and it was just like "I'm sorry, shouldn't have drugged and tried to rape you" and she was like "it's ok" lmao.
He should be quite possibly the biggest villain in the entire story. Dude knows her and has known her for years. He's obsessed enough to drug her. A smart story teller would play on that idea, not ignore it. Neil should be the quietly, secretly obsessed guy that remains close but clearly plots and plans for any action that allows him to finally have her.
Why? It's believable. I know a Neil and probably know more that I just haven't realized yet. It's a long story but I know a guy that was in love with a girl since elementary school. Went to same HS and then the same college. She married a friend of his and he hung around them all the time. She separated with the husband for a bit and the friendship of the 3 ended when he finally snapped. He tried to get her drunk and fuck her, going into a full blown meltdown when she refused his advances. He told her everything lol. Dude was and I'm sure remains obsessed with her. She debated a restraining order at one point.
Neil may be the only realistic character in the entire story.
