I really liked that the person with Seven when she had a breakthrough about her old life was Tuvok.
And she started acting like her six-year-old self.
Aside from Janeway, Tuvok's also there for significant moments of Seven's life.
Tuvok was also the person perfect for Seven at this time, I think she preferred his analytical read on this situation. Bringing order to her chaotic mind.
But also, Seven's instincts to run took some time to take hold but feels like this is where it started.
Raffi: And all you do is run away.
Seven: That's right. Because something that's not moving is vulnerable.
The first time I watched this scene with Raffi I was confused because the Seven I knew from Voyager was always stationary. She can stay in one place for long periods of time.
And then it occurred to me that this inability to stay in one place probably only manifested when Voyager reached Earth and Seven, for the first time in her life is stuck in a planet for a long time, unable to go anywhere.
It probably made Seven's skin itch to be in one place for a long time, at least with Voyager she knows they're constantly on the move, never staying in one place.
But being on Earth for how long? And according to the upcoming Firewall Seven Picard prequel novel it took Seven two years hanging around Earth trying to get into Starfleet before giving up to go join the Fenris Rangers.
It must have been unbearable for Seven, who from the age of 4 years old has never been on a stationary location, much less that much planet side time.
I won't be surprised if that's another thing that contributed to Seven and Chakotay breaking up.
Seven of Nine is a space citizen, raised in the Delta Quadrant and reborn on a Federation Starship.
Getting back to it, I appreciate that it was Tuvok who was there to witness Seven remembering her past.
And also that Tuvok witnessed with Seven her childhood home and ship break apart.
So, honestly, Tuvok being the one to tell Seven about her promotion is so fitting.
He's her Best Friend.

In Michael Sussman's original pitch for "Unimatrix Zero", it would have been revealed that the Borg Magnus had managed to create a "cyber underground" where like-minded drones could meet and plan an insurgency against the Collective. Magnus would have called upon his daughter to help in their fight, giving Seven hope that her father might someday be liberated from the Collective, as she had been. The producers opted to pursue a romantic story for Seven instead of a father-daughter reunion, and Magnus' role in the story was replaced with Axum. (citation needed • edit)
(source: Memory Alpha)
I wish they'd gone with this instead or both, but also I wish instead of Seven's dad, the resistance leader was her mother.
I want scenes with Seven's actual parents, dammit. I want her to talk to them and be angry at them. And have complicated, messy relationships with them.
Edited to add: I just looked into the entry into Erin Hansen, and there's not a lot in there except this description:
The script of "Dark Frontier" describes Erin Hansen much more significantly than "The Raven"'s script, however, introducing her by stating, "She looks early to mid-thirties, has a dry sense of humor and an astronomical I.Q." (source)
The dry sense of humor... oh man, she wasn't raised by Erin but she and Seven have the same kind of humor. I wish we knew more about them.
Imagine if Erin appears in Legacy as an xB. I'd give money to see that.

Stars - Caroline Graham Hansen
Dating Caro wasn't always easy, especially when you played in another country
Your girlfriend, Caro, was your favourite person, there was never any doubt in it, but it wasn't easy, with you playing for Chelsea, and her for Barcelona, you didn't see each other as much as you both would wish.
Which is why Champions League nights were your favourite.
You knew that one of you would end up ruining the others dream at the end of this game, one would continue on, and one would go home.
But that didn't matter, you knew that at the end of the game, you were going back to her house.
Win or lose.
She was your love, your life.
It was no surprise when the plane landed and the Barça player was there to greet you.
"Oh, y/n invited an enemy!" Sam shouted with a teasing grin, your national teammate always taking a chance to annoy you.
You just rolled your eyes at the brunette. "Shut up, Sammy, not everything is about football."
A gasp echoed around your teammates, one you knew wasn't real, causing you to shake your head and run towards your girl.
Her arms opened wide as you jumped into them, your legs wrapping around her waist as her arms supported you.
Your head fell comfortably into the crook of her neck, "Jeg har savnet deg, min kjære." "I've missed you, my love." She mumbles out, putting you down, only to place soft kisses all over your face.
"I've missed you too, so much. Facetime doesn't show the real you. I've missed your face," you started, cupping her face in your hands as she pulled away to look you in the eyes. "I've missed your eyes," you gazed softly into her blue eyes, having completely missed the way they could make you feel like you were floating out at sea. They'd trap you, and you never wanted them to stop. "But God, I've missed your kisses." You pulled her into a passionate kiss, her hands going to hold your waist and pull you in tighter, while your hands moved from her face, into her hair.
It's the hollers from your teammates that cause you both to pull away, but you don't leave her grip. Her arms stay tight around your waist as you spun around in her grip.
Her head rests in the crook of your neck, leaving kisses on the soft part of your neck as your teammates come to join you.
Caro had been the only person to score in the home leg against your beloved blues, a game that was only 4 days earlier, but the way Caro was holding you, would make anybody think it could've been a year.
"God you two are disgustingly cute." Erin said, her accent so strong, Caro couldn't fully understand what she said, but the way you rolled your eyes told her it was teasing.
"You're just jealous you aren't in a relationship, Ez." You told her, making Caro smile and put her head back against your neck to try and hide it.
"Okay, we have to get back to the hotel now, my love, but I'll see you later.." You started, being interrupted by Emma.
She smiled as she got closer to the pair of you. "You can head back to her house, if you'd like, you know that when you're in the same city as Caroline, you don't sit still."
Your girlfriend begins to laugh at you, her face still hidden.
"You shut up." You told her, warningly, making her nod instantly and Sam start laughing instead. A glare from you shut her up as well.
"Okay, so, back to mine, and then I drop you off at the stadium tomorrow." She whispered to you, making you look back at her with a nod, your eyes full of love.
"Okay, my girls, I will see you all tomorrow." You told your teammates as you started to walk backwards, as if the teasing wouldn't happen if you slowly retreat.
That clearly didn't work.
"Don't forget that you're not allowed to do anything before a game!"
"SHUT UP, MILLIE."
-
After she dropped you both off at the stadium the next day, you didn't fully get a chance to talk to each other, there was a whole lot of media, and training, and then it was warm ups, and the game.
But that didn't mean you weren't sneaking looks at each other, you stared at her with pure love in her eyes as she did her interview, while waiting for your own.
She kept looking at you while you were doing your warm up, and you linked hands with a soft smile while lining up for kick off.
But no words were exchanged, not until the 73' minute the score was 2-1 on aggregate, Guro had scored Chelsea's first goal of the game in the 67' minute, but you were still fishing for that equaliser.
You had the ball at your feet, and you were running, you wanted that goal, and you didn't want to stop for nothing.
But, you don't always get everything you want.
Mapi came in from the side, a tackle that sent you rolling over her, she got the ball, and luckily didn't clip your ankle, but, the way your head hit the floor left it pounding.
You held your head in your hands as you rolled onto your front, you rested it against the floor, trying to make the pain stop.
The whistle was blown instantly, and Mapi was back at your side, apologising over and over again. But that didn't matter when Caro ran over, she was on the other side of the pitch, but the moment she saw you go down, she ran.
She shoved Mapi out of the way, and had it been anybody else, Mapi would have shoved her back, but the way that you cried and held your head made her think she deserved it.
"Hello, my love, can you lift your head for me." She told you as the medics arrived, knowing that you were more likely to do so for her then anybody else.
As you looked up, you almost started crying more, unable to see the girl you loved so much, you couldn't make out her face.
"Hey, come on, don't cry." She told you, being careful as she held your face, the medic checking your pupils.
"That's definitely a concussion. She's going to have fo be subbed off." Your medic spoke, making you cry even more.
"I just wanted to score, Caro, I just wanted to score, I don't wanna be subbed off, I wanna score." You told her. "And I can't see your face. I wanna see your face."
All you were seeing was stars.
But all you wanted to see was your star.
She ran straight over to Jona the moment you were brought off and told him to sub her off or she was gonna get herself a red card so she was forced off.
Claudia came on in her place, and she legged if to the changing rooms. Wanting nothing else but to be there with you.
With her girl.
BOOM, ASKED AND WRITTEN. I actually really liked this, and I think it's brilliant. I hope that you (especially you @wosofie ) enjoyed :))
