[ More than the fortune or this exciting/exhausting day at the carnival it's Lili's answer that breaks her, because it reveals Rapunzel at once for the terrible person she is and it reveals the truth of what she's facing here in the colony. Given their exchange in the shack and what she's learned through Lili's actions - though stories from the others and from the beautiful necklace she has on the stand by her bed - she'd expected Lili to answer the question in the negative.
She'd wanted her to answer it that way.
After all, hadn't Lili been somewhere awful before all this? But of course, that couldn't have been her whole life. Everyone has family and friends and comrades they miss. Everyone has someone. Classmates. Enemies. Countries to serve and people to protect. Dreams to chase and people to love. And suddenly Rapunzel is crying, tears coming out before her response has any chance to.

She shakes her head, because its the truth. ]
