[ Her question gives him pause. For a majority of his existence, he has had to squash vulnerable feelings towards others. It is what caused him to be abandoned originallyโhis mother saw no use out of a puppet that could shed tears. Wanderer's feelings were an error in his making; it was best to not experience emotion at all. That is what he told himself again and again.

Buer and the Traveler had done their part in unravelling his past. Emotions he had long since buried resurfaced, and the pain, the misery he had felt for centuries, were exposed to the air like open wounds. And having been in his head, Buer knew what to doโthe... fixation he has on Mona didn't go unnoticed, and she had assigned Mona to be his watchdog afterwards. He knew that this was her attempt at healing him.
It's true; Wanderer is concerned for Mona, just as he had been for the small boy and the humans ravaged by fire. ]
