“Yeah,” she replied, lying.  “You learn to deal with it.”

Dealing with a phobia tends to be harder than it sounds, and I’d imagine agoraphobia is one of the worse ones.

She hated lying to him, but that was outweighed by how much she hated the idea of him changing how he interacted with her when he found out what she really was.  To Armsmaster, the Guild and the rest of the PRT, Dragon was a woman from Newfoundland who had moved to Vancouver after Leviathan had attacked.

Some truth to that, if you treat her as a real person. Which is a topic I’ll get back to in response to some of the asks I’ve received.

The story was that she had entered her apartment and had never left.

So then the official story, at least as far as it is given to the PRT, acknowledges the mechs not containing her in the flesh that she doesn’t have? I suppose it’s reasonable to inform those working with her about that.
