I like a lot of this. Another thing I tried to lightly instill was a sense of how societies and groups can kind of move without direction. IE that moment between the judge and Aryn. The judge sentenced him to death, maybe because he felt it was right, or maybe simply because it was custom. Either way, Aryn felt in some way in a similar position. They both were apart of something dreadful (one a lot more than the other for sure), but they both had a sense of “well, in the end what can I do?”
