#soroz was navis parent!!! FUCK!!!

[zeravmeta]

never fails to fuck me up how navi had spent the first 17 years of his life underground in what seemed like an inescapable prison but even moreso the fact that soroz believed without a doubt that navi would one day be able to leave and that in itself is why navi never despaired. in amemoris file story navi just casually drops this fact like its nothing and amemori is absolutely horrified at this

navi does not see his situation as horrifying or traumatic because soroz raised him to be optimistic despite the odds and it's even more so because this isnt even the first time soroz has been underground like this. for literally hundreds of thousands of years soroz was underground with the remaining colossus doing nothing but wait and developing their own personalities and even though they were a machine it was the hope of number 35 that they could become more. soroz as they raised navi taught them basic survival skills, conversation, everything navi would need because soroz believed this to be their last stop and wanted navi to be able to survive on his own.

What's 17 more years to save a child the way soroz themselves were saved by a child?
