"Ooooh, that's a really good question," Magnus says, frowning in concentration. "I don't really know? I guess it started as, like, a survival instinct. I actually didn't have that many friends when I was homeless after my mom died. And then I died and went to Valhalla, and sort of necessarily became friends with the people on my floor... battle companions, you know how it is. But think part of it is that I was kinda an outsider in Valhalla, so having friends who have your back is really important, and partly that I realized that my community is my biggest strength? So when I got here and didn't know anyone, I really focused on trying to find something I could use to connect with everyone I met, so I could start building a community here, too. I guess I just try to be friendly and approach everything with an open mind and wanting to understand where people are coming from?"
