   Summary

   “I didn’t know where else to go.”

    

   Nil has never been quick to anger. But with Aloy unconscious on his chest, and with the mounting realisation that the battle wounds on her body are not from a machine, anger begins to burn at his concern like a flame on cloth, and Nil greets it like an old friend.

    

   When a severely injured Aloy arrives in the desert, Nil’s demons fight to win.

   Or, “I didn’t know where else to go” meets “Who did this to you?” and other juicy tropes.
