What a great start! I love Kit already! She’s kind of giving me a mix between Rey and Omega bit just based off vibes. I think by the end of the Skeleton Crew we see Jod kind of resent the group of kids from At Attin because they are sheltered, so it’s interesting to see him connect with someone who also from a young age knew hardships in life. Because as much as Jod is the villain and do believe there is goodness in him. And him seeing potential in Kitra is like how his Jedi master was potential in him.
The way you've picked up everything I've put down in this chapter fr. Jods backstory has a lot of influence in his reasoning because we love perpetuating a cycle. He sees so much potential in her at first but also somewhat sees himself in her. You're so right with him resenting the kids from At Attin because their sheltered so my whole purpose of this story was to explore how he'd be with someone whose also seen the darkness in the galaxy because I also don't think he's wholly bad, just misguided. You see it in how he doesn't actually wanna hurt the kids. But as much as Jod does care about Kir, you'd best bet that his own greed and ambition gets in the way at the worst times.
