Ok so this Phainon is probably Flame Reaver not under disguise so that Mydei would distrust Phainon? Because Flame Reaver seems to want to tear all of Phainon's relationships apart
Phaidei feels like the opposite of fake dating. Everyone's convinced that they're not actually dating because of how long their homoerotic bromance has been going on. Phainon is near tears yelling that they're actually a thing and not a soul believes him. Not even Mydei atp.
