My mom is my greatest champion; she taught me how important it was to advocate for yourself, and how nobody's feelings outweighed your own comfort and safety. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today. The homesickness and feelings of isolation through the beginning of the pandemic didn't sink in until the fall of 2020, where I played through Zagreus talking to his mom for the first time. Thank you, Hades, for helping me work through those feelings--and thank you, mom, for everything. I love you so much and I miss you every day.
