>While the Absolute Solver and the Lich get along, he plays the straight man relatively speaking as he's a sadist like Cyn, albeit more subdued, but always gets to the point first and foremost and abstains from needless cruelty in order to achieve his goal. The Absolute Solver's sadism proves detrimental, and to get the point across the last scholar of GOLB pointed to Bil Cipher; his overconfidence thanks to his own power, his tunnel vision and tendency to play with his food were part of why the Twin Switch worked since he didn’t think to use his omniscience to make sure Stan and Ford weren’t messing with him. Much as she finds kinship with the Lich, Cyn has told him they can just agree to disagree. She's fond of playing games with Bill Cipher, mind you, even if the Solver doesn't care if their actions would wipe him out as well.
>To say that the ascended Murder Drones were upset at the Solver's return is liking saying Death Valley is dry. Yes, even J, who despite her past as The Quisling had learned the Absolute Solver was not the winning side and too messed up for her. Sadly they weren't too surprised as the Lich had commented an interest in the Absolute Solver's work.
