[ It's still so strange to have a friend speak to her this way. To speak to her honestly, without letting her hear what she wants to hear. It's strange in a jarring way because she was once surrounded by people whom she thought were her friends. They only fed her ego, and in the end, it did nothing good.
The honesty hurts, but she's learned this the hard way. Being told by a professor that she wasn't leader material and that she was a brat was. . . a wake up call. This is kind of like that conversation, except this time, she asked for it. She asked for help from Steven.
She shakes her head slowly, feeling a bit bad for herself. Being told she's wrong is still unpleasant, but it's good thing someone is telling her to be more open minded, because she'll continue shutting people away if no one did. ]
No, I don't.
[ It's weak, but it answers his question. It's all she has, after all. With no family but her sister, and with no money and material objects, she has nothing else but the bonds she's made with the people here. The way she clings to it is a bit too much, and it's probably why her heart sinks every time a familiar name is written on the wall. ]
