I think about Reks so many time, I headcanon-ed stories for so long, I don’t even know what’s canon or not anymore.
Was he tortured ? Like, physically ? For a long time I didn’t quite understand what happened to him exactly. I didn’t understand why or what forced him to completely shut down his mind.
To become completely uncapable of/unwilling to move, speak or react anymore, he must have endured a hell of psychological or maybe physical torture and pressure.
He was just a boy
