Well, I mean, it's both complicated and... not? Like at the end of the day, it's still win or lose and shit like that. But you can't just swing wildly at shit, either.
...I guess not. I haven't had any real fighting experience before this retrospec stuff started, so it's all a bit beyond me for the most part. [Getting into tons of fights as a kid doesn't count. Kid fights never count.] I mostly watch a lot of shounen battle anime.

-And before the other girl says anything.- Don't. Worry. I've got a roommate I'm living with now. But it was... not great there for a bit.

That was around the time she dropped the network, so there's an awkward gap there.]
So what did you do? Streets?

That's good to hear. I know a guy who used to live on the streets. It isn't somewhere anyone ought to be.

[Their living conditions, at least, were total opposites during childhood. So she'll never understand that.

Still, it isn't the point...it's less about whether or not people can handle it and more they shouldn't have to.
I've always thought the Mayor did a lousy job funding support for the homeless around here.
