She doesn't think she has it in her to feel that self-important; to assume her worth was more than that of her friends. But the mission was. To save a world, there were lengths she had to accomplish. There were places she needed to go.
It didn't make her feel better, really, in those quiet nights alone. She wished it did.
"I suppose. I'm not sure people are supposed to be anything. But having lived it, even only somewhat, I can say it is not a future I would want for myself. Perhaps it is my own selfishness, then, to be with those I love, despite pain I have caused in making them forget. I would think there is value in that, as well."
It feels odd, for someone she barely knows to know so much. Arguably, this is more than she's told anyone in the last 10 years. But in a sense, it's freeing to simply discuss it with someone that doesn't have so much baggage about the situation.
