I imagine that this would look very different from your position. You rejected Heaven, they didn't reject you. The Brotherhood revered you. The one time you weren't given the attention you craved was Wukong.

Do you know how I learned that I could manipulate shadows? I spent so much of my young years alone that it was the only thing I could talk to. Wukong was the only one who ever accepted me, until he didn't. Now MK and Red do, and my children, and one other. New connections. Strong ones, or so I like to think. But the fear is always there.

That sort of trust, that the people I want to love me actually will, isn't easy. I'm working on it, but the fact remains.
