Survivor Resiliency

Explanation:

Survivor Resilience is defined in psychology as an adaptive characteristic of an individual to cope with and recover from adversity after facing a traumatic event, and go back to life either with a continuous normality or with a more positive outlook on it.

In the case of Quinn, after witnessing the murder of a close friend, a very traumatic event, instead of falling into depression, panic, or even what it is called survivors guilt, he went the complete opposite way and placed greater value on being alive and the meaning of it, thus showing that his internal psychological strength (resiliency) was great, a traumatic event caused him to embrace life.
