The Fracture: Paranoia and the Collapse of Trust

The Mizarian Public Service is invoked by Tholl as a defensive identity, a shield against Esoqq’s aggression. He claims (‘My people are not aggressive’) that his role as a public servant aligns with a peaceful culture, using his occupation to deflect suspicion. However, Esoqq’s dismissal (‘Collaboration is what your species does best!’) exposes the organization’s limitations as a protective identity—Tholl’s desperation to cling to it reveals how fragile his self-image is under pressure. The organization’s ideals (non-aggression, public duty) are weaponized in the blame game, with Tholl’s invocation serving as both a plea for understanding and a last resort in the face of Esoqq’s threats.
