Half way through the chapter I could tell how it was going to end. I don't know… Wild was definitely getting to be a character the readers would feel attached to, but having him sacrifice now just felt cheap. I was hoping on the last page he would just jump on the hole while the DK was surprised and say "that would be a noble nacrifice... but I am going too" just to play with the expectations.
I don't think he is gonna die, tho
