I think I've told you before that humanity was messy and it wasn't as good as I thought, but here...I've been reminded what it means to be human, you know?

If I was able to be of any use to you... [Stuck on this ship with no powers or credit to her name, just a defanged Heroic Spirit] -- Well, I am glad.

As I told another, keep having hope, alright?
