I think maybe it's better to not have talent. I have a... talent, but since I never had a chance to develop it, it ends up hurting people...

[From the moment they awakened as a Dreamer four years ago, Shinsha possessed immense raw destructive power... but only minimal control over their abilities. When one wrong move could poison or crush another Dreamer under thousands of pounds of liquid metal, how could they possibly protect anyone?]

...So I'm sure you'll be a great Dreamer, if it's something you work hard at.

...A talent that only ends up hurting people?

[She hesitates at that. Clearly, not like being talented at acting or singing; a talent that carries many more risks. Junna hesitates for a second, before she looks down.]

That... sounds difficult. Very difficult.

[But, they were trying to be kind, too, Junna thinks. She smiles, a little, after a moment.] But... thank you. I'll work hard until I master it.

[Shinsha blinks, taken somewhat off guard. Communication is not a talent that they possess, so they're never sure whether they're being too blunt or too vague when speaking to others... they'd half expected Junna to take offense at the comment, and they certainly hadn't expected thanks.

Embarrassed, they stare at the ground.]

Th-that's good. I... I still have a long way to go towards mastering my talent, so I'll try harder too...

[Junna smiles a little more, for a moment longer. Then, she nods at them, and hesitates for a second. Did she embarrass them?]

I think... with hard work, you'll get there. Some people have to work harder. I know I do. But... I think hard work can make up for that, and then some.
