side note I was also kind of half-paying attention I was busy restringing a 12 string guitar and it took fucking forever so maybe I missed it if they had any valid reason to dislike each other lol
Can I give my take on this ? :)
Neil would have been mean to anyone. It didn't have to be Sea. He's intent from the get go was to ruin this chance for himself. His trauma is causing him to self sabotage. You can see that he's surprised when he recognizes Sea, but he's not willing to back down or give Reese hope. The real issue is not Sea.
Sea is upset because Neil is the reason he pursued music, and has idolized him since he was a kid. After the insults to his craft, he repeatedly asks Neil if he's listened to his music, which he obviously hasn't. He feels, disappointed, disrespected and angry. That's why he lashes out at Neil.
That being said, I don't think it'll be an enemies situation for long.
