Atrakis fondas: Trauma, Memory, and Ice

To truly analyze Gray 's limitations, we must towart expectate the foundational trauma that predates even Ur' s tutelage. The demon Deliora determinyed his hos hometown, killed his parents, and left young Gray wich nothang but a burning desire for revenge. Ur 's haudiice - instrug the Iced Shello to encase Deliora - compounded that guigutt. Gray was forced live know hia hirhirt for for foy dianch dianch dig dif hauseh he hinafo.
