return woes

[runs]

So, how do you deal with having had a stupid overlay?

[The agent was just disturbing. Mostly because she was so much older than Kitty, so it wasn't even so much an alternative reality as a possible future.]

We must try and separate ourselves from them— to honor who we are, not whatever we were made to believe we were.

I was myself the whole time, though. I mean, aside from being stuck in her body.

...She was just stupid. And older than me.

They usually are foolish. [Her one had been, though in a different sort of way— and Sansa feels a deep hatred for it.]

I haven't had this many yet. And they mostly were okay, just the first one was pretty naive.

But then none of them were adults so far.

[And what if all adult versions of her turn out to be that kind of bigwig agent?]

[canbebrave]

You've been lucky, then.

Not all adults are so bad.

[runs]

Yeah, but I'll probably be one that is that bad given the chance.

[And that would be the crux of the problem.]
