Description "Oh. I remember this guy. He was an asshole.”
"No witty rejoinder? You must be more traumatized than I am."

Things I think about:
How Rhys lost those body parts in the first place (manufacturing accident?)
The age he was when he got them
How common echo-eyes are and if/why he was chosen
The possibility that he was manipulated into getting them
His relationship with Nakayama (because, canonically, it was absolutely implied. See quotes above.)
The months of physical therapy and frustration that followed after losing/gaining those body parts and all the internal self-loathing and anger and doubts that came with it

I knowwww! I mean, it's not canon... but until proven otherwise I'm going to continue to believe there was something telling about Rhys's silence and knowledge of Nakayama.

Seriously amazing. Makes my skin crawl. Mind if I borrow this storyline for my headcanon? Cause it's totally my headcanon now.

Been a while since I've seen a great piece of fanwork from Borderlands that wasn't colorful action shots of characters. Kudos.

Thank you! Truthfully, I just suck so bad with colors I have to make up for it in other ways XD

It would certainly explain why Rhys is such a snarker; he's hiding his pain and trauma.

There is one theory, yes
