Summary
For as long as Aloy can remember, the mission, whatever it may be, has always been the most important thing. Problems to solve, people to help, a world to save—there’s never been room for anything, anyone else.
Because letting people in, letting people know her, really know her, letting them see all her flaws and weaknesses is a risk beyond anything she’s ever faced. It’s easy enough to push people away and maintain a comfortable—a safe—distance.
Until Kotallo. Until suddenly she wants things she’s never allowed herself to want. Until suddenly she has them.
But after a lifetime of walls and running, learning to be vulnerable, to trust someone with all the fragile, broken pieces of herself? That takes time.
