If Cole reads your character's pain, what will he find? Anything in particular you want him to zero in on? (Feel free to be esoteric, too! What sights, sounds, smells, tastes?)
the tl;dr is that he's carrying around a metric fuckton of survivor's guilt, and handling that [checks notes] poorly
wide fields of growing things, deep forests, a sense of both responsibility and shame; a ship blown into a starburst before your eyes; blue fireflies flickering in the air; neon lights in bright colors; everyone's a winner on eros cheerfully announced over PA, over the groans of the dying; blue crystal spiderwebbing over skin, growing out of where a person's eyes, ears, mouth belong; a skeletal monster with blue glowing eyes; star systems burned to atoms as their inhabitants scream; waiting in the dark for days, people around you dying slow; a city going up in flames, collapsing under the drumbeat of dragon's wings.
Is there anything you DO NOT want Cole to mention? (CWs and such) nah
Can Cole make your character forget him? sure!
Can Cole make your character not see him? sure!
Anything else you want me to know? holden's actually pretty used to spirit types knowing what's in his head, so while that'd weird him out i think overall he'll be okay with it. however, he won't take allusions to or conversations about the pain he's damming up very well so like weighing hands on what the tone of this cr might be.
