Curate, connect, and discover
I have this theory that Sova was spoiled by his grandma growing up (bc what grandma doesn’t spoil their grandkids) and had a major rebellious teenage phase
Was a real headache to raise during this phase but got away with it bc his babushka was respected in the military (Imma connect this to that hc i saw somewhere before where his babushka was military and taught him archery)
He and his friends prolly pulled absolute stupid pranks on each other, sometimes using scraps of bullets, shells, and other shit they’d pick up from the nearby military base in Severomorsk
But he got humbled around his early 20s when he’s already in the navy and is now such a soft loving wholesome boy especially towards his babushka
That’s not to say he and his cadet friends were always on their best behavior either
But instead of being the fire starter, he’s the camera guy in every shenanigan (having a camera out in the field so often may have started his knack for intel gathering, drone piloting, and nature photography)

(I just play the vid like I’m fiddling with Sova’s old files and every time the camera guy cackles, I imagine it’s Sova)
Would kinda explain why this guy’s so calm in the VP, man’s prolly almost done it all
Also puts some extra meaning behind Chamber’s line: “Sova, now here is a man of principle! But you have broken rules before, yes? Ah, of course you have.”
