This expedition has really opened my eyes to the unlikely bonds a person can make throughout their lives, some without rhyme or reason and with people one never expects. I feel really close to these random people I now have the pleasure of calling friends, I guess that happens when we all must suffer the weeping together. Peter is hilarious and he's great at keeping morale up with his little performances. Hatise is so intelligent and curious about the world. And lastly, Freja... is Freja. On paper the four of us should be at each others throats, not working together in camaraderie.
Although, these aren't the only bonds that I have made out in the jungle, there has been another, the most unlikely of the lot. It seems that I have caught the eye of a shadow. He is different from the others, larger, more composed and in control. It was unsettling at first but now I am simply curious as of their true nature once again. Of where they came from. Of what they want with us. Of what he wants with me.
