[ Sorry for her lack of tact. But the answer seems to satisfy her. ]
So you were brought here from Japan, and decided to stick around, then. ...Fucked you up that bad, then?
[ Her tone isn't malicious. But it's not quite sympathetic, either. She's stating it as though it were just a fact. Sky is blue. Water is wet. People kill people. ]
We escaped, too. ...Those of us who were still kicking by the end of it, that was. They almost flubbed it at the last second, too, those jackasses...
[ Geez. She's getting a bit more tense just thinking about it. But even so... ]
The place we walked outside to wasn't anywhere near as nice as here is. Still, if enough of them had stayed behind, I probably would've stuck with them for a bit longer. ...They're the first group of people that I came to feel close with. I don't want to say we're like a family now, or even friends, because God knows that might be pushing it when it comes to some of them, but, well, you don't just go through something like that and not come out with a sort of mutual respect for one another. An...acknowledgement of what happened that's stuck in all of our hearts, for better or for worse.
[ She's not exactly bright and cheery about it. But, seeing as though she damn near got away with nearly killing most of them, she's hesitant to consider them all her friends. Even if she has their forgiveness. Even if she's closer with some than others. Even if she's learned that she doesn't need to shoulder everything alone.
Still, though, there's no one she really trusts more than that group. ]
...And here I thought we were the only unlucky ones. I didn't think anyone else would have to go through the shit we did.
