#the locker

I would love to have additional quests in the Locker that flesh out Diawe and Caran (because it felt like those two were just randomly standing in the inn and didn’t play a role in the story until the very end), and better develop Aquella and her relationship with the Hero so that it doesn’t feel so abrupt when Aquella starts trusting and liking them.

I have a lot of thoughts on this, and why that was his torture in the first place. He was trapped on land, alone, with his crew being copies of himself.

I imagine this is a combination of his need for freedom, his fear of being alone, and self hatred being used to torture him. So this made each of these things far worse.

His need for freedom became a fear of being trapped and a need to constantly be on the sea. His fear of being alone got much worse to the point where he constantly needed reassurance.

He also hated both his looks and his own personality, and he was never insecure about his looks until the locker. He hated the sound of his own voice after that being the only sound he could hear for months. And he got so sick of his own personality because no one was there to balance him out. All he had were people just like him. There is no Gibbs to be supportive and play off him, no Marty sassing him and using the biggest guns, and no Cotton giving him questioning glances as he rolls his eyes at his captain's antics.

It doesn't take very long for him to become very annoyed with his copies' inability to be different than him, which causes him to start to hate himself more than he already did.

Chat Noir: The least mysterious lucky charm yet. Gee, I wonder how you're going to defeat 'The Locker' with a key.

Ladybug, having already rigged a 17 step trap: Wait, what are you suggesting? That we just unlock all the padlocks he has set?

I kid you not, this is my locker.
