    Summary

    You cannot bear the world they brought you back to, but you cannot go back to the icy labyrinth of Europa's frozen trenches either. The ruined half of your face makes children cry and adults flinch back in fear, you do not remember how to speak like a person, your body cannot handle the warmth of touch, utterly alone. No human being alive who could ever possibly understand you. Love you in a way you are capable of holding in the wreckage your body was made to be.

    ... but maybe you don't need to find a human being. Maybe this tired old medic from a far-away planet made of metal can understand. You can see it in each other, after all. The ways your wars never left you.
