Wai's grief was not an act. Angel could clearly feel the sorrow and despair in his heart.
He truly believed that he might meet his complete end here.
Still, it was worth mentioning that although Wai had been cursing Dox right up to the final moment, what filled his heart even more was reluctance to part. He did not truly blame Dox. To Wai, the stream of curses from his mouth was merely another way of saying goodbye.
Perhaps, in Wai's eyes, such an exaggerated farewell... or rather, final parting, would feel more like a performance and seem less sorrowful.
