It's a consequence of being made by a human. They're social creatures, and they made a few of us like that, too.

It held up during the winter well enough. I set it up around… three or four months ago, maybe.
I had to build upon the layers a lot, but it’s pretty sturdy now.

I can say the same for myself. But if the place you came from was rough, I'm sorry you had to go through it.

... I mean, I guess if I really think about it, neither do I. I have a shelter here, but I rotate around to about... two or three places at any given time?
