The first time around on the Lucrehulk, when Bode makes the comment about once breaking into a freighter on Denab, I didn't think much of it. At that point he and Cal are friendly, and banter has been a part of their relationship since the opening of the game. But he says something like, "I don't know why I brought that up." Cal drops it. I dropped it.
But. I just realized, he doesn't know why he brought it up because up until this point, everything he's said to Cal has been calculated. This story served absolutely zero purpose in getting him closer to his goal. He just shared a piece of his past because he wanted to. Because Cal makes him drop his guard. Makes him want to share himself and be known.
He must be terrified of that feeling.
