Commentary: (Important note: The Inquisitor is talking to Cole in this memory, which is the malleable player customized character. I've left the Inquisitor in Cole's background vague in case anyone ever decides to app one. So while the Inquisitor in this video clip is a male Qunari, I'm currently leaving their race/gender/class vague. If it's unavoidable to talk about ICly though, I can make some Executive Decisions as necessary.)
Cole is constantly in the background of this memory, invisible to everyone around him as he does whatever he feels like, basically. Grass and dirt can be interesting, okay. But he's listening in as well, not just to their conversations, but to all the thoughts and feelings flowing around him. You can tell through this memory that Cole can hear the minds and sense the emotions of others, the same way you can feel the breeze and hear the birds around you- it's a natural part of his senses. He takes no offense to Vivienne calling him a demon, as she isn't wrong, though Solas' explanations are interesting to listen to. While listening to all this is interesting, the pain emanating from the nearby makeshift infirmary calls out to him. People are hurting, and he wants to help.
It's too late for some of them; he can only let their thoughts and feelings flow through him as they breathe their last. While he's sad that there wasn't anything he could do for them, feeling and reciting their suffering doesn't hurt him- if anything it just makes him that much more determined to help, if he can. One of them is thirsty, and that he can help with, so he does.
But this one is in so much pain… and his body is failing. This isn't like those mages, back when he forgot what he was. He's going to die anyway. Ending it for him sooner would be a mercy.
But the Inquisitor doesn't want him to. Try… the soldier is trying to live, and he's trying to be better, to be someone who can help people. Maybe this Inquisition can help him do that. He will try.
