Every once in a while I get flashbanged by the existence of Iisik. His father is a Gretavan soldier who was high enough up to know of the planned invasion and genocide. Even with him being a nationalist, he still cared so much about his Aenerian family that he moved them to Gretavan so they could survive, protecting them with his status. Iisik only ever wanted to live up to his father, even though it never felt right to him. His mother would tell him stories of the desert. Of Aen and Olmana, of his aunts and uncles (Gregory, and in turn his older cousin Raymond. To him, that family is all dead. All but his mother). Misery runs in the family I swear to god.
