Tangled Hearts
Woody could understand how Lotso felt. If Andy had replaced him after all those times he spent trying to get back, it'd hurt more than he could bear.
And he knew what the others were going through. He experienced how tempting it was to hide your heart, to stay safe rather than love someone who might leave.
But wasn't it Buzz who reminded him how life wasn't worth living unless they were being loved? And love wasn't always fair. You love someone no matter what, whether they appreciated you or not.
And that's why Woody was going back for them.
