I imagine there’s a world of difference between killing with a gun and using your hands or in close combat.
Did Matt kill another student because it was a fight to the death and the victor “graduated”?
Did he kill another enemy in the heat of battle with the hand?
Was it a training excursion?
How many more times did Matt fight and kill before he got out?
I can’t imagine Stick would abandon him in this verse considering Matt’s a killer. He’d probably just smack him and give him the emotions are weakness speech then force him to kill someone else.
How did Matt finally get out and why didn’t Stick drag him back? It must have been some sort of dramatic showdown for Stick to let him go.
I’m thinking Matt kills someone at Stick’s command and later finds out more about the person, that he was a good man, had a family, and now they’re struggling because he’s dead. Or maybe he was killed because he wanted to change and become a good man. He’d already taken strides towards that and then Matt had to fight him. Worse yet, the man was winning but when he realized how young Matt was, he stopped fighting. “You don’t have to do this. There’s good in you still.” “I forgive you”Are the man’s last words before Matt kills him.
He’s haunted by this and eventually defects. Becomes useless to Stick’s cause and Stick abandons him. After that Matt tries to pretend he’s a normal child.
