Yeah. There's one certain chara who ends up a bit of a secondary villain just because her mind can't take the way certain revelations demolish her personal worldview until that point, so she goes into this full-blown denial mode and then just keeps trying to justify it. (Yes, vague, trying to avoid too many spoiler-y things.) Her actions still make me want to punch her face in, and yet they are also a thing that some real people do, especially when they have deep-set beliefs and then are confronted with a major shock that contradicts those beliefs.

Yeah. I can't swear it's true, as I've never watched the film (I think it's a film, not even sure on that) for comparison, but I've heard he and his other half were based off a couple charas from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
