pls correct me if I'm wrong with any of these or if I missed any. ◕‿◕ some I know I've heard in-game but can't recall where they were placed or recall for sure.

I think both Fee and Schala avoid thinking of their shortcomings. Feros dealt with losing people by turning to drink and overworking himself until collapse, at which point he was forced to come to terms with his awful ways of coping and processing grief. I don't think he considers being overprotective a bad thing until somebody he cares about goes off without him and he flounders horribly and gets angry with them. It takes a while to work through that.

Schala cannot let things go, thinks she can do it better if she has enough goes at it. Save people, stop a disaster, keep the peace... Only they forget that they only have one go at things, no matter how far ahead and how many branches of time they can see in advance. So they also tend to linger on the past too long, living through it again and again and again, both the good times and the bad, like punishment and atonement and grief and missing someone all rolled into one.

It's a disaster no matter who brings up these bad choices to either. No matter if it's Ikora or Shaxx talking to their student and protege. Shiro bringing it up because Feros has been slipping. It's just a total shutdown until they figure it out themselves.
