Miig's insistence on helping Wab maintain her privacy surrounding her story shows that, in addition to generally understanding the power of storytelling, Miig also recognizes that there are some stories that people would likely love to forget. If this is the case, they shouldn't be forced to share them. Specifically, in Wab's case (where her story is extremely traumatic), this also means that Wab isn't forced to trust others before she's ready to cope with her past on her own.
