To be honest I feel like the indies have been weird about Neeko and in turn Neeko has been weird around them. Can't quite identify what exactly it is but it just feels off from what I expect of them. In the indies case it's too forceful and lacks the pragmatic consideration I expect of someone like Fuji. And in Neeko's case he just seems absurdly frustrated with them and has taken more than a few pot shots at Flower.
