This was a very heavy sci-fi novella. The story though was quite interesting and I liked how it played out, even though it was still a bit confusing. The main confusion was around the characters which made me feel like I was missing something in terms of their backgrounds. I enjoyed the writing though and the 'twist' was satisfying. I would have liked it more if it had been a bit longer to expand on the characters a bit more and maybe have a few more events happen to draw the story out.

2.5/5. Great concept, iffy execution.

Las mentes y cuerpos distintos aquí se unen, sanan y se rescatan entre sí. Es precioso.
El cuento le da un “twist” a uno de los temas pilares de muchas historias de ciencia ficción donde el "otro" representado por el alienígena es rechazado, violentado o visto con miedo o todo lo anterior. Hay algo que decir sobre rescatar y apoyar el punto de vista y talentos de personas con capacidades distintas en este cuento, ya que se sintió casi como una fábula leer cómo Osden aunque indeseado por todos tiene éxito al final.
