The read I have on hippo is that up until their ability turned out to be a joke I was willing to believe they were town. The 180 from killing leafia to “lets not actually” has continued to read as a wolf that didn’t want to push a townie out so blatantly…I’ve said my peace about this in my earlier posts so I won’t rehash it.
They do seem almost offended though that I mindmelded with them and then decided not to trust them anyway, idk maybe that part is townie
