I guess my point is that the things that come with the PC being an 'ethical' person thus far aren't really any different from what I'd honestly expect from a random person off the street. The piece that I feel is missing is internal monologue to the effect of 'man, all I did was invite him to eat breakfast with me and he's acting like I parted the red sea, this is kinda fucked up.' Like, some of the early romantic overtures from Asterion were genuinely sweet, but they perhaps should feel a little offputting with where he's coming from. The expedition was definitely a step in the right direction, and the other stuff you mentioned sounds good!
As far as less important things, this might be specific to the humanities route but the random UN stanning kinda felt like it came out of nowhere? Critique of the organization aside, it makes the protagonist come across as a bit of a naive ivory tower dork. Though, actually I suppose that scans for the 'humanities' stereotype. Similarly, I think Asterion speaking so fondly of being in a 'border patrol' probably came across a bit more politically charged than intended- not that I think that was on purpose, but it was a bit of a 'wait, what?' moment.
