Instead of flute lessons he got to kill his only friend.
good thing too; no duets with potential love interests. lol
We don’t know that for sure
He could have played the skin flute. 😔
No, you are supposed to get your rank fixed.
…And it was a Ruskin penny whistle, not a flute.
Picard: I was part of a loving family with plenty of close friends while being a productive member of society working towards saving the planet…but it was futile so I consider that pretty traumatizing
O’Brien: I was a prisoner in a single room with a sand floor for 2 decades constantly on the brink of starvation and my only interaction with other sentient beings was a single other prisoner whom I mistakenly killed over moldy food
Well, at that point O’Brian still didn’t have suffered through it.
