watching the valeria interrogation again and when alejandro says, “you disgrace the army”, rudy steps forward but when alejandro looks over his shoulder at him and says, “and your brothers, no?” he steps back again, almost like he’s trying to pull himself out of the conversation
alejandro leans in close to her and rudy reacts like he wants to pull him away, to protect him from her and from her words, but when he brings up that valeria hurt him too, betrayed him too, rudy retreats like he doesn't want to be reminded of it
it's alejandro who keeps valeria talking about the past, who prompts her to say more when simply saying she's ex-military would've been enough. they bait each other, valeria far more successfully than alejandro; she’s essentially running the interrogation
this speaks volumes of rudy’s interjection of, “he (the son of la areña) was supposed to go to prison”. he’s getting short; cutting off valeria and her excuses, not to redirect them back to the point of the interrogation but bc he’s done with her. rudy’s terser with her, more obviously angry, than he is with an actual terrorist
alejandro can't get past their history; let's himself get pulled off track and compromised but not be he's more upset than rudy. rudy has just repressed the hell out of it; if he doesn't think about it then it didn't happen
but now, he's suddenly being confronted with it head on
"you disgrace the army," is generalised; valeria didn't just hurt rudy, she hurt all of them. it's easier to take
"and your brothers," calls rudy out directly for his pain; pain alejandro wants retribution for and he doesn't want to face it, doesn't want to admit to it bc he doesn’t want to have to feel it

its honestly kind of heartbreaking that sonic superstars is just kinda okay after how good frontiers was . like they finally made a really really good mainline game again that had overwhelmingly positive reception after years of hate and mixed responses. but then with the very next game im seeing more negative comments again. and im not saying the criticism is undeserved just that im tired of how sonic always has to be that one franchise everyone hates and can never escape that reputation no matter how much really good sonic stuff comes out. you know.

yall i had this dream where i apparently got a squip before i started dreaming but i didnt pay for it so the girl i got it from messaged me to meet her somewhere to pay her and i was fully considering just booking it when i was in my car but i somehow accidentally went on the highway that was packed as fuck by the way i was bumping cars left and right. you know those pinball machines i felt like i was in those i was like dinging around and driving sideways from the passenger seat somehow (like door first sideways) when i got onto the highway i crawled over the center console to the drivers seat. and THEN i got to the place i was meeting the girl it was like some sort of mall but the entrance was under a highway it was weird. anyways the girl gets in my car and this box of donut english biscuit thing with pink glaze like the stereotypical cops have appeared on the center console. and then i woke up so i dunno if i ever paid the 300 dollars
ANWAYS all that to say i told my friends about the dream which lead to me explaining what a squip was which then lead to an hour long explanation about this stupid fucking show while we played bedwars. somehow during that hour i forgot to mention eminem dies so now im trying to explain why hes important to the plot
