[ She sighs. ] I know. I need to be in the world, more... I've learned that, I think, but sometimes I forget. Sometimes it's just... hard, or tiring. And this place is still a bit new to me.
[ Rocking back and forth on her legs, she thinks. ] I'm really trying to play it less. But sometimes... you're right. I need to learn how not to use it as a crutch.
[ She looks up at him. ] But sometimes... sometimes I need it. Please. Because I don't have anything else.
And that's... that's my decision to make, anyway. Isn't it? I mean... if you take something away, that the other person really wants, doesn't that just make the other person want it more? So... what you did really just makes things worse, doesn't it?
