I can’t stop thinking about the implication that Hal wasn’t involved in the plan to rescue his brother HIS brother that’s so?? was Thjazi just a protective older brother who didn’t want to get his regular civilian brother involved in his shit? but also Hal is clearly well connected and beloved by people from all walks of life, so he had to be somewhat involved in the less savory aspects of Thjazis life or at least know that he was involved in all this shady stuff. its also such a interesting detail that everything Hal was doing, all his deals and request and favors cashed in was without knowledge of this plan which I guess means that Thjazi had so much faith in Hal that the rescue was the back-up plan…that’s wow. something about loving someone so dearly that even though they know every part of you and what you do, you don’t want to subject them to the worst of it
