crazy about benson surviving but not being self sacrificing at all.
like, in theory, he wants the best for randy. in practice though? that's another story.
in practice, randy is not allowed to escape him, actually. in practice, if randy lets go of the leash, benson will bring it back to him. nose his hand until randy takes it again.
when he wakes up, benson will not say a single word to anyone aside from "where's Randy?"
randy gets dragged to court, benson keeps addressing him directly, no matter who's on the stand
benson refuses to eat if randy doesn't visit and when randy visits benson says upsetting things, showing randy his chains like "i should just kill that dumbass guard with these and i could walk outta here"
randy freaks out, keeps teeling him he HAS to stay there and benson shrugs, tells him "if you say so"
when benson gets sentenced he looks to randy, like he did when chris was on his face, asking permission. randy shakes his head again.
the state has no say in what benson does or doesn't do actually, benson is randy bradley's, thank you very much
