so a trope that i have come to greatly enjoy in TRoS-compliant gingerpilot fic is when at some point while spying, Hux suddenly unsticks his moral compass enough to start feeling guilty about the choices he's made and is struggling to be a better person. however, due to a Situation, in order to leak information or keep his cover he is forced to absolutely body a fellow First Order member who was just doing their job. and so now not only is Hux slowly having a mental breakdown about his war crimes, but he's also faced with having had to kill some other poor FO sod that was just as much a cog in Palpatine's machine as he was and is horrified that he just cannot escape the cycle of Killing People.
aka: traumatized and covered in blood :D
