If you asked me an earlier time I likely would have lied. I cover up a lot for Loki, make excuses, try to protect him, I always have. And it's not that I don't want to still love and protect him, but I think it's become clear it isn't healthy for us. He can't break out of my shadow if I'm always casting it, and I can't have a full life if mine is only about him.
