In the scene where he lectures Hana after catching us with the two idiots, having an indoor beach party, the guy gives Hana a lecture in such fatherly manner you never see actual dads lecture their kids in other visual novel. They either go full on asshole or just way too forgiving. Warren the meantime just has this bent forward finger waving posture with a grumpy look that isn't even menacing, he casually achieves not to be physically threatening in that moment even though it would be easy. Not once does he show signs that he is about to hit Hana and doesn't give as much as a slap to the mc even though he did a stupid thing. The scene isn't tense because Warren handles the entire situation without creating unease.If this is not sarcasm in action we see here, then it is a refreshing and unique new view of Warren we have not seen in this thread before!Would you please tell us how you arrive at these viewpoint?
This is a recurring theme with Warren. He never uses violence or even the threat of violence to settle arguments, he is never overcome with rage, he is a perfectly reasonable guy. He knows exactly what are the boundaries and if he cannot lay a finger on Hana? He doesn't try to weasel his way around this. If he can't he can't and he is cool with it. He is by far the classiest of immoral mercenary in visual novels where usually the bad guys are just bullies with a temper who need constant supervision not to break things. If he would be given free reign he would just break the girl sure but he isn't nurturing a desire to do it. He just said that if he could he would, sure he'd love to, but as long as the boss won't allow it this won't happen, end of story and you never see him teasing Hana. This is rare.
He doesn't flaunts his muscles he doesn't tell tales of combat prowess, he isn't a braggart, he never felt threatening in an argument, he doesn't try to win one so desperately like immature idiots and bully types do. With his argument with.. Dariah? Can't remember the name. He doesn't answer to her and yet didn't just sent her to fuck off, he listened to her argument, didn't try to intimidate her at all, he gave her words a real thought.
The guy is the best you can possible get for this role. You want an enforcer who is ruthless, without conscience? Your ideal one is in full control of his base desires, polite, well mannered if he has to be, handles situations with care and isn't threatening unless he has to be. He doesn't try to be in the center of things, does not seek attention and minds his actions and words, always use only as much force as needed and otherwise a likeable buddy if you bother to chat with him.
The thing is, he acts like a fine example of an ideal maffia enforcer. Always very respectful and fully loyal to the hireups, good with peers, strives to a good working relationship the very least. But doesn't give a fuck about those below him. This is why he doesn't care about girls he fucks. They are the bottom of the foodchain and hierarchy is very important for these types. They actually are quite deliberately mean to those below them.
