#hmmmmmmmm smells like bad writing#still can't believe they gave us the whole-ass disability arc#of him becoming traumatically disabled and suicidal#then realising he has a support network who loves him#and they literally build him back up by making him a beautiful mobility aid#and he discovers a reason to live again#WITH his disability! Not fighting against it! His disability is beautifully and inextricably interwoven with his love for his crew#and his desire to protect them (which is how he got shot in the leg in the first place)#it's a part of him like his queerness and his obvious neurodivergence and his addiction issues#that the crew loves and accepts. and he's so happy to be singing with them! He's got one more song!#he 'comes out' to the crew and does drag and is HAPPY. he clearly starts working through All The Abuse from Kraken!Ed!#aaaaaand then he decides he doesn't want to live actually and that it's time for him to go and dies of a wound that#has canonically been established to be non-lethal#while telling the guy who kept him and his friends trapped on The Abuse Ship for ages that nothing was his fault actually#because heaven forbid a main character be held responsible for their own choices#FUN#anyway. great disabled rep guys. /s
