I'm not talking about anyone else's maturation, Lysithea, just yours. I remember when you were in Deerington, you defined yourself by the war at home and how you wouldn't live long. You were more fatalistic then. Now I can see that you have a lot more to think about, that you can actually live in this place if you wanted. I'm glad you changed a little bit.

[Oh right. Yes].

Well. I've always felt I didn't really deserve the friends I have. Before the Isles, I didn't really have people I was close to other than my mom, and I can't escape the feeling I get sometimes that the people I care about are going to get sick of me. I always feel like I'm going to sabotage my own bonds by being myself.
