I think the most important thing to understand about braun's moe is that he was just fucking around in the good friend doll. he was just playing. He's one of the most powerful entities in the entire novel next to like, the blue dragon, there is almost no force so far that's capable of putting a dent into him or his influence.
So there is no way that Braun was influenced by a cheap sticker, even if it were enhanced. He loved Kim Soleum's stage presence from the beginning. He was simply that easy to manipulate. He got an ego stroke and went "omggggg 😊 keep going"
