"Sorry. I just...um. I lost a bunch of my friends, a couple months ago. My team, but also the best friends I'd had since kindergarten. A monster pretty much ripped our team apart. And every time I tell people this, they're horrified and angry and they cannot believe that that's the kind of world I'm from. The kind of world that I have to go back to, if we ever find a way back home. And like. I knew it was a lot of stress and pressure for a girl my age to be under, but it's what I know. What things have been like in my world for generations. So I don't know how to feel about fighting monsters anymore. But I sure do know how to answer that question for reporters and talk show hosts and stuff."
