I don’t like posting text only, so here are AU’s basic designs as a bonus!
The main factor that defines how family dynamics in this AU differentiate from canon is that Alma and Pedro process their trauma in absolutely different ways. It comes from both the difference in their personalities (though I mostly made up Pedro’s personality myself, I like how he turned out to be) and the difference in the experience itself. How was it different? Well, we’ll find out…
The main problem with Pedro is his guilt complex and how itmakes him feel the constant need to redeem himself, to make up for what he had already failed once – protecting the loved ones. But could it be that while trying to protect, he ends up hurting?
That while struggling with his burden of guilt, he taught his family the same unhealthy patterns?
