sdjkadsdja remember when liam said he was excited to play his new character to get away from the angst of vax bc i think about that constantly how does that man’s brain work
nc Vax is a guy who is, at the end of his journey, inevitably going to die and he can’t avoid it so his whole story is him squeezing as much time out of his loved ones as he can before he loses them.
Caleb is a guy who already lost everything and his story is how he makes a family and builds himself back up.
Looking at it stagnant as a whole Caleb is a bigger angsty mess than Vax but if you factor in the forward momentum of the story the worst of Caleb is behind him. There’s a totally different feel from the countdown-to-tragedy Vax is in and Caleb learning to care about people and heal.
