When Aloy first got here, I was so relieved to see her for a minute it felt like everything was going to be fine. At first, I was certain she'd find the the snake god and expose it as a slitherfang and somehow end this all. I think...I was a little disappointed when she didn't.
But I think now that was an unfair expectation to put on her. Especially because she's definitely putting it on herself. I knew she did, of course, but... Being here, and that one game we played where that stupid crocodile attacked us over and over really showed me that. In a lot of ways, in our world, Aloy is lucky. She has the best capabilities to handle the problem. But here, with so many out-of-this-world types of people, she's just another person trying as hard as she can.
We're sisters. Not just because we're both clones of Elisabet, but because we care about each other and we help each other. Or, Aloy helps me, and I try to do the same when she'll let me. Before this place, I didn't think much about Aloy's side of growing up. How she might have had people around, but she was still lonely, even if she won't say it. It must have been less painful to just move forward doing everything alone because she knew she'd have to anyway. But she's not alone now. I just don't know how to make her understand that...
I want to tell her more jokes and watch Second Time Around together. I want her to take care of herself and let herself have nice things or be happy or be taken care of. I want to be someone she can depend on.
