This is probably going to sound really weird, especially with all that's happened. But...

[She laughs a little, turning her gaze to the side slightly.]

Does anyone feel like being here has changed them for the better? You know, even if it's just one or two small things that have changed.

[oh god. This question could make her cry.]

Better really isn't the word.

[skirtcladgunner]

[A brief pause. That's... not exactly a great response.]

Would you mind too much if I asked why?

[stillbetter]

[Oh, boy. She has to sigh for this.]

Let's see. I've been taken away from everyone and everything I know. The only two friends I had were miserable here, and now they're gone. I haven't had much of a reason to see how this place improves anything.

[skirtcladgunner]

...I'm not sure how much it'll mean to hear, but I'm sorry for that.

[A pause.]

I didn't think it could improve anything when I first came here, either.
