( She won't hold back, even with a new friend(?), though she notes the sadness in his smile and... looks back down, drawing a second helper but, erm, slightly more murderous-looking. )
But you aren't the first person I've heard who thinks like that—who wants things to be like that. It would be nice, if it could be. ( Mm. ) It must be nice for it to be, but in the city I'm from, even the most altruistic, well-meaning notions are built on the sacrifices of others.

She'd wanted to cure everyone, save them, from whatever "disease of the mind" infected the City, chained them to a capitalistic hellscape where you fought tooth and nail to be worth something, to have value.
