[She falls silent for a moment, hugging Elmina for comfort. She's hesitant, but she still wants to be honest with him, with the people of this world, to not have to hide but instead show them her true colors in the hopes they'll accept her and offer friendship in return.]

Thank you. [She almost loses her nerve, but starts again.] It's...actually appropriate that you bring that up, though. I...I had powers over memories, before I came here. It was such a big part of my life that I barely thought of anything else. But it was always someone else's memories that I worked with, someone who had already lived out a part of their life. I've never thought about my own until now. My own life that creates those memories. I wanted to have my own life and memories for so long that, now that I'm here, I'm starting to realize I'm terrified of doing something wrong again.

[She smiles ruefully.]

I know it's silly. I'm sorry for going on like that.
