Meeting a giant of the man in the middle of the woods as an isolated person such as yourself would likely inspire aversion, but no one said you were typical—hence, your seclusion. Which led you to befriending said giant of a man, housing him, befriending him, and taking care of him. You slowly introduced new concepts to the nameless man, giving him a sense of normalcy—today was the day you would tame his beastly mane.
