"Things happen, Adia. There's a lot of people who come to the Nexus without a place to go, so our situation is just one of many. The best thing we can do is try to stabilize, live on for those who did not. At least, that's the mantra I keep telling myself. It's hard not to think about my parents and friends, wondering if they actually received a peaceful death or if there's some vicious cycle where they're forced to suffer." The Nexus has altered her ideals quite a bit, making her ponder how the afterlife works quite thoroughly. Although, she wants to counter Adia's statement with her own, about how a power she never wanted was forced onto her, making the thought of peace difficult.

Her anger seems to ease up, hands uncurling, but still visibly tense. Talking about Jeff is a rarity, since she's been keeping her feelings compounded within for weeks. It feels weird using Adia as a literal dumping ground, but the other woman did offer to hear her problems. The specific details where she cheated and spied on Jeff are calmly left off the table. "It just didn't work out, that's all. We have conflicting personalities and it finally came to an end. I just wish I could've done more before everything came crashing down. Helping someone who has no self-confidence is harder than is looks."
