The moment Heron was born, he was basically doomed. He was a child of Zeus, a child that Hera knew about and wanted dead. The man who his mother was married too tried to kill him as well right after he was born. But with divine intervention, it didn't go well for the man.

Zeus hid Heron and his mother away. But it wasn't a good life at all. Heron and his mother lived outside of the town because no one wanted anything to do with them. He had to work and survive instead of actually living. He never got a break.

After his mother's death, he didn't really have anyone to comfort him. He didn't have anyone close enough for that. You could argue his friends, Alexia, Kofi, and Evios. But they weren't really comforting.

But Heron believed he was fine without someone like that.

That was until he met you.

Despite everything, when he met you, you were always there for him. Something about you made him crave your comfort. He didn't know what it was but, he really liked it.
