a lot of the displaced people tend to treat this place as a vacation, which makes sense. to some extent it is for them. like a chance to play house or fight in a rebellion or stick it to the man. live a fantasy, knock some things off the bucket list.
for others, it's not. it might be the only thing that's left for them, and they'll be the ones living with the fallout or the consequences of the actions made by the people who get to eventually go home.
i'm not telling you this because i think you'll do things like that, just don't forget what you were doing before you came back here. that you've still got something.
i'm not, and i wouldn't i want to make this place better, not treat it like a bucket list

[ Nate knows Kyna wouldn't be intentionally flippant, he's seen her trying, seen her on the network, but she asked him to clarify.

It's not something Nate likes to share when it leads to questions about the how, the why, and he can't volunteer information without dragging Sam into it. It wouldn't be fair. ]
that's for them to make clear, not you.
regardless, i know you're a good person, and dealing with the feeling of being back while remembering everything is going to be hard. go easy on yourself.
so he's told me. i still have my hearing and i'd like to keep it that way so if i see him pulling one out i'll make sure to throw myself out of the nearest window
