Thinking about how Sparrow has a found family outside of their hero friends.

The Bower Lake camp is their family. When you start the game if you loiter you can hear people wish you a happy birthday, they immediately believe in you while people outside of it couldn't care less about you. The people captured by Thag know you, if you take too long to let them out the woman goes "You wouldn't do this to us, would you Sparrow?"

Sparrow isn't alone, they're angry and hurt over Rose, but they are loved, and the people of the camp see them as one of their own.

Like yes, Hammer Garth and Reaver understand them on a level the dwellers can't. They understand Sparrows hurt and trauma, Hammer and Sparrow see the most important person die in front of them, Garth and Sprrow experience the spire, and Reaver connects to those darker parts of them.

But at the same time the dwellers understand a part of them those three can't. They raised them, they saw them through the injuries Lucien left, and tried their hardest to fill as much of the hole left behind from Roses death. They're part of why Sparrow maintains the ability to be positive, and funny because that is far from Theresas list of things Sparrow needs to be. Sparrow dances and plays the lute, and you can't convince me that they would be doing those things without the positive influence of the camps inhabitants.

In Sparrow Theresa saw the key to getting the Spire, Lucien saw a road block, but the dwellers saw a child, and fully embraced and loved them. Gave them as much as the possibly could, and kept a home open for them always should they wish to use it.
