#Pulled Pork is a sweetheart to the core and you can't hate someone he loves

Peregrine and Notuldren/Guardian Uldren/Crow:
Despite her hatred for Uldren for what he did to Cayde, and despite absolutely being the one to kill him, Perry doesn't carry that hatred over to the revived man.
Sure, it's painful, seeing the man who stole her loved one from her getting a second lease on life, but that's what it is. A second life. A second chance. A chance, perhaps, to be someone better.
She reasons that Cayde was all about trying to be a better man, all about trying to do good even if the methods weren't stellar, even if he slipped up from time to time. Peregrine figures if she can give Notuldren the support he needs he just might turn out all right in his second chance.
Naturally Beyond Light is gonna decide how the Guardian and the newbie interact, but I'd like to think Perry would reach out to him and take him under her wing as she does with any other new Hunter in Cayde's stead.
Bcause she's an Exo, he won't be able to see the hurt on her face when she looks at him right away. He already has to live with the hatred and pain of so many, and there's no way that'd foster positive growth, so her Exo face helps alleviate this (at least until he learns his teacher's tells).
I just really like the image of her teaching him how to be a good hunter, and walking him through the Tower, Cayde's cloak on her back and the Ace on her hip, declaring the next person who draws on him is gonna be in for a bad time. She knows her cloak and gun give weight to her acceptance where nobody else can.
She probably wouldn't tell him about his past unless he reaches the conclusion himself and asks, so as not to color his new life. If he did ask, she'd make an effort to find Joylon or another friend, as her own account is too biased in hate and pain. She also wouldn't want Mara anywhere near him.
Basically : "Yeah I executed 1.0. Yeah 2.0 is now my son. Deal with it" 🤷‍♀️
