Case File 02 / Psychological Report
Logan's eldest son, Connor is the Roy child who survived by leaving the main battlefield and building a fantasy country of one. His absurdity is inseparable from neglect.
Connor Roy's psychology is the quietest form of Roy damage: not the child crushed in the succession race, but the child exiled before the race began. His presidential fantasy, historical obsessions, and purchased domestic arrangements are not merely eccentric wealth behavior. They are structures built around an old vacancy.
Connor wants significance without combat, love without leverage, and family without humiliation. But because the Roy emotional economy does not offer those things, he retreats into a self-authored reality. His tragedy is that he can name his loneliness with startling clarity, then immediately rewrap it in fantasy because clarity alone does not create belonging.
