Walter sounds perfect. I really need to get some CR with him.... somehow. Maybe with my next hopeful char.

As for Abel, you've had so much to juggle with him and I am constantly amazed and awed by the balance and thought you put into his character. His grief and guilt is realistically handled, with the derpiness making a wonderful mask without overwhelming or belittling what he's going through.

Don't worry. You're doing everything right. <3
