But Val is genuinely immune to realizing people are sketchy or shady. So he always just took Akane at her word, because [you really think people would lie? In a murder game?] is they way Val operates. Honestly to him, Akane just seemed like a lonely child and because of the promise he made to Namine in week 1, he tried to help her as much as he could. Which meant lending her an ear and allowing her to talk and trust somebody.
Oddly, I think Akane was the one who learned the most about Val's moral compass in the end. What it means to him to be proud and honorable.
Shame he bad to betray her because she killed his partner, but Val is still incredibly lawful. And like. She murdered?? Sorry, not sorry at all.
