In my opinion, he is a sociopath. This makes it almost impossible for most people to understand how he thinks or feels or what his motivation is in any way for almost for anything. What they do almost never makes any sense to a mind that hasn't been damaged and developed this way. Even for people that have studied these types of minds and experienced being around them in person quite a bit, it is still quite hard just to remember to even try to think like them because it is so different than most people.  With that being said, from my life experience of being with a sociopath who tricked me for into believing they were a normal person for over a decade, this sociopath is doing the same and doing whatever he can to make life the most interesting at all costs even to the point of it causing harm to themselves if that is what is necessary to keep the game going and keep it interesting and fun. He is just enjoying playing games. This former plastic surgeon and now illegal eye doctor is a sociopath and all of life is just a game to him. What fun would he have in killing the doctor? It would be over so soon. He probably thinks it's hilarious to think about if he will go to the fridge and choose the right food to eat or not. He'll probably be laughing about that one littlw trick for days, weeks, years, and decades to come. He'll probably store it in his memory bank and bring it up from time to time and laugh out loud for no reason. He probably enjoys quacking at him like ir's a hilarious joke. Everything he can do to make it more fun and interesting and memorable to him, he will do it. Maybe he's burned enough people by setting them in fire at this point. Maybe it became too boring. Who knows? Sociopaths make absolutely no logical sense. He probably also gets a real kick out of having someone's life in his hands and then letting him go. He is a god now. He is all powerful and he was forgiving. So he is a kind and benevolent god. Now, I'm not saying any single bit of this makes any sense to any regular human being. They think almost exclusively in fallacies. So, there's my take on the good doctor. What do you think about my theory?
