Do you want to try to find out what happened? The future's a tricky thing. But sometimes it's good news, like about my dad.
I've always been smart, but brains aren't everything. I would have died in the arena if Shiro hadn't gotten me out. I wouldn't have gotten out of the work camps if I hadn't gotten to know the rebels there. What I'm saying is, the most important thing I've learned is that I've only gotten this far because of the people around me. [...] Which is not to say I'm useless. I've helped them too. But still, sticking with the right people is important.
