Amelia smiles wryly. "Because that's something I can still change." Someday. Maybe. ...hopefully. After a moment, she adds, "If I were to go home right now, just as I am, I could do a lot for my world. But that's not what I want. That's never what I've wanted. I look out for me and mine, always have. If I were to go back now, without working for it, I'd fall back into habits that would cost me the one thing I want to change when I go back."
Her answer is honest, unabashed. That look on her face, somewhere between wistful and sad, speaks volumes about the amount of time she's thought about this very same thing. Maybe... she's grown a little more than she thinks.
