Fear, anxiety, self-doubt.

All of it contributed to the loss of Noriel's connection. The Nordic combat pilot stayed as far away from Dr. Allison Mayweather as he could, all because he believed that she was too good for him. And then she was just gone.

Allison has been missing since the attack on the ridge. But now, she has been found deep within the cave systems that run underneath the Ranch, living there for months if not longer. Due to severe wounds, the Anthropologist no longer remembers, well, anything. She does know that the surface is scary, terrifying, painful, and must be avoided at all costs. 

The moment he finds out about Allison's survival, Noriel makes his way down into the systems, tracking his connection down and bringing her home.Whether she wants it or not.

He helps her recover her memories and reacclimate to the surface while she does everything she can to convince him that he is more than worth her love.
