Krix please consider what the psychological impact of having your organs and nerves methodically torn out and draped across a room would be.
Throughout your read I was having my doubts but now I am a little bit more sure. I think you are underplaying just HOW MUCH trauma Brian went through. Its not just the hours of literally impossible inhuman torture, but being made to watch as your whole team/family member you consider highly get caught, then starting surgery on one, and proceeding to decide to just torch them as you can’t do anything to stop it. Going on an emotional tirade is the least to be expected
Yeeah, fucking hell, he needs all the hugs. Honestly, he’s handling it surprisingly well.
I do have a tendency to underplay this kind of thing, that’s true, though I think some of what probably came across as underplaying was more me trying to consider all the possibilities. I repeatedly mentioned how his change could be a result of his new power and didn’t make it clear enough that I thought that this and way more would be justified as simply a result of the trauma.
In fact, I don’t think I would’ve liked it as much if it had turned out it was his new power doing it. It would diminish the impact of his trauma in much the same way it seemed like I was doing by suggesting that could be the case. I just felt the need to acknowledge the possibility.
