Holden

Confident and slightly frustrated, with an undercurrent of quiet determination. Holden is in his element—fixing the generator—but his patience is tested by Norton’s hostility and the colony’s crumbling systems. His emotional state is one of resilience, rooted in his belief that the truce and cooperation are worth fighting for.

Frustrated resignation with flashes of defiance. Holden’s emotional state is a complex blend of exhaustion, pride in his work, and quiet anger at the colony’s refusal to acknowledge the severity of their situation. His gratitude to the Primitive is a rare moment of warmth in an otherwise tense environment.

Holden’s emotional state is one of visceral shock and betrayal. His 'No!' is a cry of moral outrage, but it’s also the sound of a man watching his world collapse. There’s fear, yes, but it’s secondary to his grief for the Primitive and his dawning understanding that Norton—and by extension, the IMC’s influence—has won. The room’s dim lights cast long shadows, mirroring the darkness now consuming his hope.

None (deceased), but his death embodies the colony’s fragility—one man’s knowledge, one man’s trust, and now both are gone.

None (deceased), but his death leaves a void of expertise and trust that the colony cannot afford.
