The Nexus.

*She takes up her drink, stepping back out of the light to watch him consider his options. Which possibilities does he seem to see, and on what must he weigh them to make the choices he does? She's reading into his every move.*

Humans and human-descended sentients make up about eight percent of the galactic population where I'm from, and for one species that's high. There, I could avoid them, tell myself whatever I wanted about them. Here, it seems like more than half the inhabitants either come from Earth or have at least been there and like it. I couldn't lie to myself forever, not in the face of facts, and it... helped, I think, being able to connect with people here and know they wouldn't be dead the next time I turned around.
