But then it soured. The isolationism, the Idolaisation, the control. It became so clear what New Mors is and what they do to their citizens. Just because a group appears on the surface to align with your beliefs doesn't mean they actually do. The point is, you are not immune to propaganda, and although it's good to be critical of internal bias, sometimes you need to analyze why things feel wrong.

The context made short is that Ayg was born in the lower decks of Saga, a really oppressed under city. She tried so hard to get out and wound up kind of doing it, but working for a pretty corrupt company. Early in the campaign, the gang met a group of activists on saga who planned to blow up the decks that separate the upper decks and the lower. Ayg was pretty much the only one who was uncomfortable with the idea of helping - and only kind of reluctantly agreed from a distance. She still valued the law and knew that the lower decks were a bad place to live but hadn't fully recognized who to blame. My whole dream for her character arc was her slowly putting the pieces together and realizing who the real enemy is, and uniting against them. I finally had that first big breakthrough moment for her with Scrap, Robins NPC who's also from Saga, and it's one of the most important scenes I played as her. and I'm really proud of how Robin and I got there.
