For the wip ask game, how about Lyn wants to go home?

Thanks for the ask!

Info:

This was half me being angsty and processing via Lyn (she got a lot of that, poor girl), and half me trying to think through her character. I'm not really sure where it is in the story timeline, but somehow she ends up by herself, and after a bad day has the thought of "I want to go home"--but then she realizes she doesn't know what that means. So it's part her being angsty because she doesn't know what to do with that but part sweet because as she processes she realizes that "home" means her new "family" (the Rifters).

Snippet:

"Home" wasn’t her university. That much was certain. Despite the comfortable quiet of her dorm room, it wasn’t hers, and it wasn’t an escape, and had felt like a different kind of purgatory all its own. She hadn’t had any places besides that. And with the rifts, well, there wasn’t anywhere they stayed consistently. What could be considered home out here? Lyn sat and hugged her knees to her chest. She still wanted to go home.

and from later in the document:

Sometimes, sitting by the fire had felt like home. Those days of enforced rest, hanging out in the quiet of the woods—it had carried its fair share of horrors and discomforts and stresses, but there had been breaths and snatches of something nice, chilling and talking with Zo and keeping her mind off the pain.
