"Last I checked, I kind of lived here." Well, not at this particular temple, but above in general as her mother lived primarily below. She hadn't meant to say that out loud, but the words flew out of her mouth quite bitterly. She didn't want to be bitter right now. She was in such a confused emotional state.
