So...Isn't Douglas' personality so different from Patrick's, only with different experiences? Patrick can develop thanks to the constant influence of Emilico and Kate, but Douglas didn't have the same support. It's cool that we can see him as someone principled (unlike Sarah, who is extremely selfish and self-centred. maybe that's even why Edward prefers Sarah, as her insecurities make her more manipulable and disposable, after all she has no soot powers)~
Thanks for the great quality translation~
