In 2373, Lieutenant Tuvok was the only individual not wearing a lei inside Neelix's Polynesian luau holoprogram. Marayna, calling him out on this, described it as being both a means of isolating himself and a public protest, as he had not wanted to be there in the first place. She later told Tuvok that she had seen the way he isolated himself and that even a crowd of people he was alone and thus he was like her. (VOY: "Alter Ego")
