[It all does circle back around to the way Alec was raised. Literally bred and raised.]
He's complex. And he spent twenty-two years having to hide his thoughts from people who would literally burn out his happy memories with a laser if he didn't. As well as I know him, a lot of our serious conversations are me waiting for him to be able to talk.
[A small nod] I helped someone try to wreck the ship, once. I didn't want to die, I didn't want anyone else to die. I was just so tired of nothing else I was doing mattering.

He could run a marathon on a broken leg, though, so it's hard for even me to know what's going on with him.

But think of it like...the extreme version of throwing a plate against the wall.
