He wasn’t in a high security area. Theoretically, he could use the things he had in the room with him to cut a hole in the wall and escape.
So why doesn’t he? Is it that he doesn’t actually want to go rogue, in a sense separate from that of “neither hero nor villain”? That he’s inclined to face his punishment?
It’s probably not that he’s accepted that the Protectorate and Wards would easily be able to catch him if he tried to escape. The man is stupidly proud, though losing against Leviathan and Tattletale may have been a hit to that pride.
His ‘cell’ was a full floor of the building, containing conveniences from a jacuzzi to a small pool. Were he not confined to it at all hours, it would be luxury.
Yeeah, looks like he’s drawn the long straw, for now at least.
I suppose hero/villain discrimination is one of the more reasonable forms of discrimination, but it’s still a bit annoying. Especially when that was part of Armmaster’s crime and he’s separately benefitting from it in his punishment.
If he did escape, he wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything afterward. It would take him too long to put a fresh set of gear together, and the authorities would catch up to him. He would be sent to the Birdcage. She knew it. He knew it.
I suppose there’s a limit to even Armmaster’s arrogance.
