Can you just promise us something? Can you put the main character in this story in for one very small cameo, where he is on the sidelines at a random moment and sees a part of the Etherium story unfold, he just has that puzzled moment he sometimes gets before noping out because he realises trouble is about to start and he wants no more of that.
And that would be it, he is suddenly there in the story and gone. A homage to our heroes sometimes slow working mind, doesn't need to be more than several pictures and we never see him again lol
