Totally agreed! I 100% believe that Isa and Lea were genuinely friends. They had goals and made plans and hung out together, and Isa genuinely liked him, and acting like a dick is just his preferred MO. He wants to be the cool and collected one, even if that means mocking his friend or enjoying watching him get his ass handed to him. (Lea was basically a hyper Hayner, as I recall.) (What we have here is basically the friendship of young Riku and Hayner?)

But since we only see them for, like, ten lines or something, almost all of their relationship is in my imagination, so it's harder to be emotionally attached to him.

...although now that I've mentally associated Isa with Riku I have given myself many more feelings... Fuck.

I did in fact spend the whole day rereading that liveblog wheeeee
