everyone reads the tribute as courage. It's arithmetic.

Alistair has one household and no way out. No claim, no income, no one who'd take his side in an argument. Leaving isn't on offer to a person like that.

So the dragon isn't a heroic choice. It's the only door in the building, and it leads somewhere fatal. Not bravery — a man picking the exit that costs others the least to explain.

And watch how the family reacts. They're relieved. Not sad, not guilty. Relieved that the awkward one is being handled.

That's the detail that makes everything after it work. He wasn't sent to die. He was allowed to volunteer.

✨ What worked for me:
- Note how quickly they agree. Nobody argues.
- Nobody offers to go instead.

✨ Bottom line: the coldest reading of that opening.

was it courage? 🥂

— K, karma is a dish best served on screen 🥂
