I always think about how while all wardens exist regardless if you play them (and in those versions they just die I believe canonically) brosca is the only one we see the corpse of and I was wondering if you had thoughts about what leske there says about how he watched brosca die

Well it makes me feel. Insane. First of all. I do appreciate how completely emotionally and physically thrashed he sounds in those line deliveries (Brian Bloom when I get my fucking hands on you)

The line "all over a stupid bet" is really striking to me tbh. I've seen people (with offense) interpret it as him saying that Brosca stopped eating on a bet, like as a dare? But now that I've listened to it again I really don't think that's correct. I think the "bet" being referenced is the one that Beraht made at the Proving. He's saying that all of this, Brosca's death, which has clearly affected him very deeply, Leske himself half-starving and being forced to beg a stranger for help, is because of money, Beraht's money, and that feels stupid. It doesn't make sense for this to have happened because of that, all this suffering over something that he doesn't feel is meaningful. It's an interesting arc for him, given that what's left of Beraht's money & power, the fraction of it that Jarvia has offered him, is basically what he tries to kill Brosca over if they are the Warden. I think that the version of Leske that watches Brosca die in that cell would probably find the actions of the version of him that doesn't completely incomprehensible, and vice versa.
