- Miria mom was assassinated during a politically motivated assassination attempt on someone else at a political event. So when she finds his sniper rifle, she's like “exactly what kind of soldier were you?” - This should be after he tells her a little bit about his world, with the technocracy and the preserves and his work as a “peacekeeper” … exactly how did you keep the peace, sev? And he admits he was sometimes sent to quietly assassinate disfavored burgeoning preserve leaders…. - You're a monster > stiffly; I did my duty and protected my people. Moral cowardice to just opt out of fighting your enemies and leave your own people undefended. > They weren't your people, they were your slave master, they bred you like a hound. > I was a very good hound. > You still are! > Yes. I am. And if I weren't, you'd be dead or drifting in the void. Now if you'll excuse me I have artifacts to retrieve so my people don't starve. > You're a killer > when I have to be. {Exit} - A week or so later he comes home looking exhausted and expecting nothing. Miria says: tell me something you're proud of. Addendum is about our dinner habit, tell me something nice about your day, and how it started as a way to keep my son from fidgeting or being annoying at the table while I served or we finished getting the baby ready for dinner etc. And it's turned into a very nice positive habit. Every now and then eldest also wants to talk about something bad that is on his mind but we try to focus on positive things and gratitude etc. in addition to focusing on the positive it incentivises having things that are good to share … compare to daily standup and Friday wins and those informal pressures and also goodharts law.
