It depicts a genuine lighthouse keeper, not just some random mercenary. It seems like a story about human willpower, the need for connection, and the fundamental fear of failure. Did you ever finish the book *To the Lighthouse*?Perhaps, instead of applying logic to understand a character, you could simply hold brainstorming sessions to develop them—that is, if you are the one writing the story.I wrote a draft about a character creation process; it doesn't exactly follow deep logic, but relies more on intuition and reasoning driven by trauma. As humans, we tend to follow internal rational thoughts stemming from our subconscious.</blockquote>
