And when I did get that weird power, even all that was still better than the situation I was in when I got it, so I didn't mind diving headfirst into that lifestyle because it hurt less... and even now, the way it's changed my life, I'd still rather have this. [For a second, she looks helpless, as she looks at her hands in her lap. Then she shakes her head, glancing back to Zeke.] Damned if you do, damned if you don't, huh? And then you've got the crazies like me that want to keep doing it. [There's something about the grin that comes to her face... it's self-deprecating, sure, but she knows she's going the right way at the end of the day. Pain now with the promise of a better tomorrow.] I'm sure we frustrate you to no end when we aren't taking this seriously.
