Repurposing scarp and thrown away things being a love language in the sense that you took this thing that no one has use for, something that is no longer loved, and you turned it into something that someone can use again, love again. Getting rid of the old parts and making something new from them. Not letting go until it doesn’t work anymore.
Marya taking in Kočka, the one remaining piece of Ludmila she has and making him be able to protect himself with the Steel Defender.
Maxwell taking the remains of Torse’s golden heart and making them into weapons.
Marya thinking that maybe it’s possible to save Ludmila, that she’s able to be fixed, be salvaged, but making sure her crew knows that this other Ludmila that is no longer what she recognizes is not off-limits.
Maxwell stealing the original Zephyr when he first decides to go looking for Comfrey.
To be loved is to be scrap.
