I expected it too. I just wish this was elongated over two chapters.
I'm not a fan of Einar folding so quickly and accepting Thorfinn's idea. I'm fine with it happening but IDK, it felt like he'd be more dug in than he was.
Einar went nuts and felt the weight of the dead + he questioned his move from the beginning
Arnheid's view about him was also a key factor
The dialogue was way too short though and had not a huge impact
