We see him do this is with Gorneo but he was of course just acting to show that he's not like that anymore. We see him also almost doing it during the battle with the FM as it immoral to allow the city to be destroyed when you have to power to stop it or let a comrade be beaten because you feel like hiding your true strength.

Please allow me to repost what I meant then,

Spoiler:

The ‘surviving together with friends’ has always been his philosophy right from the start and it didn’t happen after he arrive in Zuellni.

Now the question raised here is how he does it. Lawful or unlawful? Good or bad?.

Back in Grendan he thought of his orphanage and to survive they needed money. So no matter what the paths are, he’d do it be it how ‘unlawful’ or ‘bad’ might it seems, just if he could get the money. Resulting of him being exiled and deemed as a criminal and nearly received capital punishment if it weren’t for the amnesty given by the Queen. His intentions were good but it’s the way he exercised them.

Now in Zuellni, his philosophy is still there, but because of his teammates (he used on fighting alone)… and someone who will keep him in check all the time aka none other than our captain, he has to do his ‘survival’ philosophy in a ‘lawful’ and ‘good’ way.

Remedy as for the whole situation, she would’ve kept in check in ep 20 until Leerin arrives to finally suppress them, possibly preventing her for going berserk, and for the sake of safety for her squad, but the current situation proves otherwise. I apologize if the term ‘remedy’ for you mean a total cure for Nina from a medical perspective where she’s free and cured from the Haikizoku’s influence, because that’s not what I meant.

Impact, as I posted prior,

She went berserk, risking her squad a as target for the cannon, finally being subdued by a crazy HB.

Which could’ve been prevented.

Layfon problem had more to do with his own inability to understand how others felt when he was discovered to be doing illegal things. He talked about how he felt they had always betrayed him but then he wonders if they didn't feel the same way. I think you way way off on your analyzing of Layfon. Like completely different galaxies.

In Ayako’s sub, around minute 17, its implied Layfon lamenting the fact he the overflowed feelings of wanting to use the katana again for the purpose of battle in an analogical way with his past crimes.

With Layfon protecting her all the time if only she had said them. Layfon vs Savaris may be inevitable, but the risk of a abducted teammate situation could’ve been avoided.
