#exactly like a reader wouldn't know at tge start of a story?

I haven't posted about AEB in ages, but I think that my favorite part about how I characterized the y/n (on a whim mind you) is that:

If they hadn't had Amnesia, they would understand the severity of their situation. They'd know that the were forced to commit atrocities on people, in order to avoid committing atrocities on others. They destroyed their ship by mistake, but in the end it prevented those people from harming life on a planet that wasn't theirs to harm. They didn't act out of good for everyone, but they refused to keep committing horrible acts in the name of science. They were prosecuted, first and foremost, for not doing as they were told. When they rebuttaled, it was the system's downfall because they had to take drastic measures.

But because they have amnesia, and their audio logs were either destroyed on purpose or glitched from planetary interference, y/n has no idea. They know that there's blood on their hands. They see the wreckage of the ship float past on an average basis. It's nothing *new*. They just don't know why they did it. Why they killed people. They're under the impression that *they* were the root of the problem. The bad seed. The only thing keeping them from giving themselves up is a desperate feeling of belonging on the planet. Belonging to the Entity that they so fear just below the surface. They don't understand that what they did saved its life. And in turn, it would save theirs.
