( I was angry. And you're probably right that it was pride. I've my share of it. I can't be untruthful and say otherwise. I cared--care for you a lot and I considered us comrades, friends. Before I knew about Clarke, I... hoped. I saw a lot of where I came from in you, a lot of the ways we were similar and I just assumed that meant we would think the same way about the world. I felt like you understood me better than the others here. So when you said something that felt like a complete misunderstanding, it hurt. So no, I wouldn't have been as angry if it were someone else. )
[ Well. That's said. Aloy has never been fond of confronting uncomfortable truths about herself and this is no different than those other times. It aches, but soon, she hopes, that will fade and wounds will heal. ]
