Written for What a Character!: Official WDC Contest, March 2024, but the rules said I could enter anything, even stuff already written. And I'm still in love with this one. Plus it'll force me to come up with something special for Part 2.

For What a Character!: Official WDC Contest, March 2024
Prompt: Write a story where a sidekick/supporting character steals the show away from the main protagonist.
Note: The name Gunga Din comes from a poem of the same name by Rudyard Kipling. The particularly relevant lines are the last:
Though I’ve belted you and flayed you,
By the livin’ Gawd that made you,
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
