Sombra is, after all, isolated. Alone by choice and necessity: she knows she can't get stuck in the rut of having anyone else at her side, it'd be too easy, too compromising— and she was never any good at connecting with anyone else unless she was pulling at the strings for a reason.

You wouldn't see her fighting on the front lines. She's not their hermanita anymore.
Which might be why they've grown on her, the other members of Talon.
They're the only tangible thing she has left.
