Nice exploration. 😎
And, I think T'lyn and Ma'jel (from LDS & PRO) are also fantastic Vulcan characters on a similar journey to what you describe.
Both express initial disproval of humans. But I think that is mostly becaused they were socialized to react that way.
Over time they prove to be curious to learn from humans' perspective! (Not just humans actually, various non-vulcans)
But basically, they see the value in what they were raised to see as irrational behavior. 🖖

@5ciFiGirl@starbase80.wtf @Phangurl@vmst.io Presumably they've been socialised to view expressed emotions as dangerous, which it is for them. It's sometimes necessary, but it's mildly taboo (very taboo when speaking with non-Vulcans) and usually kept separate from daily life. I wonder if there's not a bit of sorting going on in Vulcan society. Perhaps most Vulcans are unsuited to interacting with other cultures and peoples, the ones that become curious enough are made mild pariahs so they have an impetus to explore.
