the truly sad thing is that when it comes to therapy, she’ll brush it off as “i’ve got no time, but thanks” and yeah, i mean it’s kind of true most of the time, but still. but if it got sam to go to therapy, a stipulation being lara having to go too, i don’t doubt she’d do it for sam. lara feels a great bit of guilt, not just towards her, but towards everyone that suffered on the endurance (me, quietly: including herself! girl, wake up!!), and she’d do anything to make up for it, as evidenced by the lengths she goes to in the comics, saving grim’s brother from las serpientes que caminan, and going to the ends of chemically radiated pripyat for alex’s sake, knowing his sister is in danger. lara’s loyalty, coupled with her overwhelming guilt (a lot of it stemming from her realization that her father had been right all along and she has no way of ever making up for that) leads to that overcompensation towards the people in her life now.
