    Summary

    Puppets don’t get sick. They don’t rot away, especially not ones made of divine energy.

    They do, however, put themselves back together when they break.

    Truly, that is what makes someone human.

    Summary

    "Your... your blood is purple."

    He said it with the quiet awe of a scientist noting a bizarre natural phenomenon. Then, the implication seemed to hit him. His brow furrowed. "Why is it purple?" He looked up at Wanderer, confusion warring with the lingering panic. "People have red blood. I've seen it. Even Albedo has red blood. Why is yours.. different?"

    Wanderer closed his eyes for a moment. The question was a minefield. Because I’m not people. Because I was built, not born. Because the fluid that animates me is a blend of elemental essence and liquid ambition. "It's.. a long story," he finally managed, opting for evasion. "A side effect of a terrible diet."

    in which, Durin finally visits Hat Guy after the transformation, but things don't go as planned...

    Summary

    She breaks him gently, the way she does everything.
    "Don't you think it's time you moved on, Wanderer?" she asks, casually, innocently. "I have no need for you anymore."

    The Wanderer is shattered by Nahida's sudden rejection. It tears too deeply at old wounds for him to question whether something more is going on. Unexpectedly, it's another Dendro girl who helps get him back on his feet- hopefully in time to realize Nahida needs saving, too.

    (aka, wanderer + collei bonding while i put him and nahida through the wringer)
