I genuinely felt bad for this guy. Despite the constant declarations of his creepiness from Michiru and eventually Nazuna, I never saw any malicious intent in him.

Here's my armchair psychological breakdown of a fictional character that no one asked for:

To me, it felt like he had bought into the same delusion as Nazuna, that the Silver Wolf Order and Nazuna's impersonation of the Silver Wolf were necessary for the emotional health and wellbeing of beastmen. He trusted Alan and believed in his mission, and once it became apparant that Nazuna may be having doubts it began to wear away at his sanity and he became more possessive. When Nazuna finally said to his face that he's creepy, rather bluntly I might add, it broke him and he lost touch with reality. Stress and anxiety took root, which finally boiled over at the concert when he saw that Michiru was going to interfere with the confession. I'm almost surprized it took him so long to manifest Nirvasyl Syndrome.

None of his interactions with Nazuna triggered any "this guy is a creep" flags in my brain, more "this guy is in serious need of mental help before he ends up hurting someone" flags.

Not to mention that he was probably experimented on by Sylvasta, given that he seems to be using his mask to hide what I can only imagine is a very serpentine face above the nose (he has reptilian eyes in his human form, which doesn't seem to be normal for the average beastman), and the fact that Yaba saw some familiarity in him.

I predicted that he was probably a snake beastman and was rather dissapointed that we never got to see what his true animal form looks like. Given that Trigger seemed to have trouble deciding what aquatic beastmen should look like (seriously, why does Nina only have a tail in animal form when other aquatics still have legs? Even the painting of her grandfather, who was also a dolphin, has legs!), I doubt we'll see any official rendition of Boris in animal form since now they'll need to decide whether or not he'd even have arms.

Thus ends the meandering thoughts of a random person who was too lazy to create an account before commenting. Thank you for your time and have a good day.
