The - universes [ awkward in her mouth ] that Ceres seems to draw from– [ Time to put on her Professor Science hat and whip out dem observations!! ] –everyone in them is... Mm, no not everyone. Let me start over.
Of all the people I've met thus far? Just in - say, twenty hours? A good 80% of them came from homes where it was their duty or mission to protect themselves and others. They're made for places like this. For... the outside world.
[ Instinct tells her to look away, but determination instead causes Rapunzel to meet Leon's eyes. She doesn't look bitter, exactly, but the happy-go-lucky light from before has changed. ]
What I'm asking is whether it's the same in your case. If you don't have to worry about the people you care about being hurt. Or about being hurt yourself. Because you've trained for this, I assume, and because you could get through this place without me. I... I want to know if that makes living easier.
