i love how bewildered zane is in the pilots. everyone’s personalities are so clearly work-in-progress and they’re leading into more generic four/five man band alignments but in the very beginning he’s so far from The Smart One and it’s so dear to me. he’s so happy to be here. he doesn’t really know what he wants yet and he doesn’t have any idea what to expect but he’s got some friends he can help and protect and that’s enough for him
