This concludes the Dedra Meero crashout. Thank you all for attending
It’s like, “Oh wait, what is this? Are you … Am I?!” And that was a funny thing to explore, because neither of us really initially wanted to lean into the will-they-won’t-they, but it’s kind of unavoidable given all the circumstances that have led up to it. And it’s kind of beautiful, because he’s doing something so selfless, actually, and she’s completely traumatized and panicked and in shock. In the midst of this whole melee of a riot, you have this amazingly tender moment between these two really fucked-up, weird people in a broom closet in space. - Kyle Soller (Esquire, 2022)
