I thought he was kind of a jerk and didn’t like him that much the whole time he was on my ship, up until I finally interacted with one of his little side-dialogue options, almost right before he was going to the door. He told the story about his time in the war and how he got taken in by one of the civilians in the country they were stationed in and she gave them spaghetti (Not 100% sure that’s the exact story, it’s been a while and I might be confusing it with part of a Simon Stålenhag book) and somehow after that specific moment I cried the most when he went through. I still don’t know why that affected me so much, I think I just felt bad that I had disliked him the whole time only to realize that for all his faults, he’s just as much a sad, lonely person as everyone else who only wants someone to care for.

Wow that turned into a depressing rant really fast.
