I mean I think there’s at least layers to particularly the “can you tell i’m eepy and lazy”, level 0 wolfy (not invested in maknig the read) level 1 towny (admitting it) ok that’s basically it just more.
I do think it comes across as very waffly, he is forcing microreads and while they are conforming to a tendency to townread neil it this is like around the area that when I’m wolfing I get townread in & so I’m more sensitive to this sort of thing. They aren’t really… synthesized into a conclusion as much as observations being tossed around. And the thought process itself is pretty by-the-books (besides maybe ‘getting scared at neil saying what i observed about itself’)
