>At best you can argue that he *can* be better
He probably can, but first he needs help to escape the endlessly self-reinforcing feedback loop he's stuck in, as well as escaping the veil of lies he currently finds himself in. And nobody is helping.
It really is a pitiful existence. Neither friends nor family, no one to really question his ethics and morals and putting it all into perspective. All he has is his own thoughts, his father's words and a ball that hypes him up every time he commits wanton destruction.

Cope really does suffer by not having any kind of relevant cast to interact with and bounce off of. It's hard to give a crap about him when he never has any reason to emote and exists solely in a bubble of Lola cheers.
I hope Tsuda goes through with doing more with Mainline Cope, he needs it. Desperately.
