[quote]Frankly I think he did process it but it was then used against him like a weapon but that’s just my thoughts.[/quote] If a person has processed it, it can't be used against them as a weapon. As an example. My mom died a while back. I've processed this. Someone bringing it up doesn't bother me. Because I've processed it. In fact, you started this conversation by saying "I swear people in this community have never lost anything" (paraphrased, of course). Walked right by it. Didn't bother me. Processing one's emotions. Powerful stuff. Zavala experienced no character growth in this area. All any being needs to do is bring up and it reduces Zavala to an ineffective blob of sadness. That's the opposite of "processing" a trauma.
