What I say: I’m fine
What I mean: Aloth Corfiser is a survivor of abuse, and though he tries to downplay how bad his situation was when he discusses it with the Watcher, he was so afraid that he literally joined a cult on the off-chance that they would post him abroad so that he could escape his home life. He’s been left visibly uncomfortable in his own skin and hesitant to speak his mind in many situations, and the fact that between Pillars 1 and Deadfire he forgives one of his parents will always rub me the wrong way. Though arguably one parent was much worse than the other, both had a hand in forming his current insecurities, and he owes neither of them anything, least of all forgiveness.
