>>41316466As I understand the timeline (apologies for Axelotls who can't read all this):
>Suspension.>Suspension pushes him to spend time with family for Thanksgiving despite the agreement to only visit for Christmas.>Despite spending time with his family on Thanksgiving, his family won't let him reneg on the Christmas family time.>End up having extended time with family during Christmas.>All this right before his Japan trip.>Is afraid of getting in trouble for taking his anxiety medication to Japan so he leaves it behind.>Does touristy stuff in Japan for two weeks while neglecting his work.>Went into Cover corp offices for work related stuff and siad he retreated into the bathroom for a bit because of his anxiety.>On top of all that he wasn't taking time getting himself as aquatinted with VG outside of helping them with tech stuff compared to the rest of HQ.>Something bad happened with something Tempus-related before Axel's HQ collab, which caused Axel to be a little somber in his membership afterward and Altare to sleep in all Sunday.>Said at the end of all of this his social battery is drained.And this is just me extrapolating from how I see Vesper as a guy around his age who also has anxiety (though these days not at that intensity anymore):
>Anxiety probably makes him averse to high male energy, so Axel irl and the full Tempus collab were probably too much for him.>Mori, Kronii, and Magni are all women he's familiar so Monopoly was fine Putting it all together, I can forgive Vesper. Though, in his age doing a big job like this he needs to take his anxiety issues into account more when making decisions. Sudden shit happening I can understand, and I don't hate for any of this shit either, but overall I think there's more he can accomplish as a Holostar. If anything, the only thing I dislike is the feeling he may be resorting to alcohol a little too often as a quick fix. Though I think in the end once he opens those doors with the necessary people he'll fine.
