Datisi did something that pinged me heavily. They made it seem like they were trying to get into a fight with Ico by highlighting some previous experience they had together in an “effort” to discern alignment. And when Ico reacted in a way that was supposedly negative, Datisi sought an explanation, Ico provided it, and Datisi sort of just blindly accepted it and moved on.
From where I sit, it seemed like an attempt at clearing a player that they know they will be forced to interact with a lot this game, perhaps so they can avoid having to give further explanations today and focus on a different player that from their perspective should be easier to mis-execute.
Wild theory? Perhaps. But you gotta start somewhere.
