Squall really is intensely relatable. I love the way the game uses pauses in dialogue to convey the way he's feeling about things:

Caraway: So, who's going to lead this operation?
(everyone looks expectantly at Squall)
(long pause while Squall unsuccessfully wills everyone to stop looking at him)
Squall: I will.

He's just such a well-drawn character. I love him.

Good luck with NORG!
