Way to take all the fun out of learning who Lily is in the most mansplainy way possible.ĭylan continues to mansplain his way through his killing decisions – an interesting philosophical problem on his hands, for sure, but it would be more interesting if said ethical conundrums came about within the story than being expositioned to death with literal walls of text.
