I-I know. But... I'm glad you said so. It's what I want, too, and holding back constantly would eat me up inside. [It's really the same vein of what she said, last night. Pretending to be someone and something she isn't wouldn't be good for her. She hugs onto Lisa a little tighter, then. And Lisa can feel her nod, against her.
She laughs a little.] I'll help, too. I'm good at doing that sort of thing. Once I graduate, and... you know. We can look for a place together. And... figure out the other sides of it. [They can get some money working with the Dreamer Union, Junna thinks. Plus there might be part-time jobs or financial aid, when she goes to university, and--
And she's getting ahead of herself. One thing at a time. She leans back against Lisa, and sighs. Her eyes close, but she smiles. Maybe Lisa can't see that; she can hear how happy she sounds, though. Relaxed and not nearly as tense as recently.]
...thanks, Lisa. [Her voice is quieter. But it's no less warm; and Junna feels warm in a way she hasn't since before the Disturbance. Even if there's uncertainty, and many questions, and everything else that she still has to figure out, there's a sense that there's a path forward and it looks bright now. In a real, tangible way.] For... um. For last night, this morning, all of this. I... I wasn't sure, after everything that happened, what would happen. Where my life would be heading. You picked me up from that.
