Poor Jon
Well, it hit me. I can't have two main characters stomping around in fits of anger. Kate will do this very nicely, thank you, since she now has a good slew of ghosts in her closet to keep her on edge. Jon though, well...Jon's character arc would never get the chance to be substantial if I kept him so pissy. Plus, considering that this guy has been basically under 'house' arrest since 'gaining conciousness', i.e. his mental upgrade, I think I can set his character apart more by making him more innocent, more surprised by the new world around him. The experiences with Boudica will certain have more impact by doing this as well.
As I rework chapter two (originally chapter one), I'm seeing other advantages to this as well. It allows for Burke's character to be more diverse, more questionable, more grey.
I know, I'm making Jon a bit Luke Skywalker. But I think that's ok.
