Lloyd is my favorite because he's a huge jesus on the entirely opposite end of the spectrum than Sera, who is my other forever girl. Most jesii have self-worth issues at some point - I mean, you play Luke! Whereas Lloyd runs on self-worth (his jesus is based on ALL LIVES ARE IMPORTANT TO ME SO THEY ARE IMPORTANT) and flashes of self-doubt are like momentary hiccups on his runaway freight train of vicious coping skills. When I was first playing the game I was like... what the heck is this, because the juxtaposition of dumb and derpy and loev everyone with a guy who is extremely hard on himself and other people, snappy at surface things, and ultimately able to take every decision he has to make without shattering was so weird to me. He does not react like a normal person would, and the game does not change him a ton except to make him more bamf and give him a lot more knowledge and perspective! I adore poking at broken people in fiction so the concept of someone who CAME BROKEN RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX and whose weirdness made them superfunctional rather than subfunctional was interesting to me! ...and he's just a ton of fun to play.

Since Elliot has a lot of that similar SELF-CONFIDENCE ABOVE ALL ELSE, where do you think he got it?
