    Holy fuckin shit Didi. Beautiful writing as always, and Nil being so haunted by the people of the past is just so ethereal and sad and my heart aches for him.

    I absolutely love the way you wrote each memory, the way Nil thinks and talks is just so heavy and introspective and contemplative. The way you worked in Fashav was such a nice touch, and your description of the Cinnabar Sands skirmish feels unreal and has an almost dreamlike quality, like it being recalled through a haze. I feel just as caught up in the memory as Nil.

    His submission to Aloy, of letting go and the realization of what trusting his body and mind to another person means to him especially in this capacity, with this level of intimacy is just. Gorgeous. Cathartic. Breathtaking. And Aloy finally offering to someone something she wants to do makes me so soft.

    (The whole Tremortusk fight, and Haxx and Pekka disagreeing about how it went was just, cherry on top. I love how you write how Nil sees and cares for the kids, it makes my heart all mushy)
