This scene does an amazing job of showing how growth and trust aren’t just handed over—they’re earned through experience, trial, and error. I love how Nim’s actions, which at first seem random, actually have layers of meaning, like life itself when you really stop to look. Ksenia’s advice about balancing control and understanding really hits home, especially in how it relates to Irina learning to trust the bond. It’s not some magical, instant connection—it’s a slow burn, something you have to work for. And Irina’s realization that her fear isn’t a weakness but a strength? That’s a powerful twist on the typical 'chosen one' narrative. It feels real, grounded, and all the more relatable.
Quite enjoyable!
