Character Question 31

How did their parent's death affect them?

Zach: he hates that his mother's death affects his dad. And his stuffed animal collection is very important to him. But since his mum died when he was a toddler, it doesn't affect him much (I still haven't figured out how she dies. If she dies in a drive-by shooting/car chase that she wasn't involved in he would be more driven to be a police officer)

Freddie: grieved for his parents. He feels their absence prominently in his life. Despite not being the best parents, they were active in their child's life, so when they left for space he was depressed. It took a lot for his foster parents to help him recover.

When the government pronounced his parents as legally dead since they'd been missing for so long, he went into denial. He screamed at anyone who tried to reason with him for the first hour, then was silent for weeks. His foster parents were extremely concerned about him, but luckily it wasn't as bad as last time since he stayed in denial grieved already he didn't truly grieve (he didn't actually fully recover. It is doubtful he will ever be the same, naturally. At least the first time he had a probable date to look forward to. His exuberance for life greatly diminished after his second round of depression. Happiness level - 9 - 2.5 - 7.5 - 2 - 6.5)
