About Trust Issues
A character whose past taught them that depending on people is dangerous slowly learns to let someone in. The walls come down brick by brick, with setbacks treated as part of the process rather than failures of it.
Earned trust is the most patient form of intimacy in fiction, and readers savor every small concession — a real name, an unguarded nap, a secret offered freely.
Common scenarios: A con artist instinctively planning exits from every room until they realize they've stopped doing it around one person, or a betrayed soldier testing a new ally with small truths first.
