FFS Matthew, take a break from obsessing about Atlas and go prepare some tough questions for your interview with MagicalTux.
Can I obsess about Atlas after I do my Tuxwork? Plllleeeeease?
I doubt that me or anyone else saying "no" would make the slightest bit of difference to whether or not you're going to continue obsessing over Atlas. Whether you want to rescue him, punish him or a bit of both, this is one drama I suspect is going to play out to an inevitably bitter end.
