( Clementine settles with her back pressed against the door. She still plans on leaving soon. What the hell can she do about all this? Nothing. She fights like hell against physical threats, but this? This is way more fucking complicated than all of that.

It's complicated in a way she doesn't know how to save herself from. )

Back home, you won't know what you find out here. ( there's a little pause. ) You think whatever was back home followed you here to Wonderland?

( cause then that interests her. she wants to know how to defend herself, how to keep herself safe. )

...I don't want you to shut down either.

That sounds scary as shit. It sounds like you'd be seriously in danger.
