[She knows that...it was easier for her because the three of them had had to learn together. There hadn't been that gap Dex and Sinistra had before they met up again.

All the same though.]

Just remember these things.

First, you need to remember that he's got a head start. Don't compare yourself with where he is because he's had more time to learn than you.

[She doesn't take her hand away. Instead, since he wasn't pulling away she presses her palm to his cheek.] And remember, you've already taken the first step. Deciding to become someone different, someone stronger, that's the most important step. Without it, you can't do anything at all.

And, remember: it's okay to feel lost. It's okay to feel like you don't know what you're doing and it's okay to make mistakes. Everyday we spend living, every time we meet someone new or try something different, we're growing. It may not seem like much at first, but day by day, by continuing to struggle we slowly become someone different.

Look! [She only takes her hand back to gesture at the chickens.] When you first came here...you wouldn't have known how to take care of them, right? Isn't that already a move towards becoming someone who can take care of others? And you're sitting here listening to me talk...and telling me all these things that upset you, that you're unsure about...is that really something the old you would be able to do?

Maybe neither of us are where we want to be yet...but we'll get there. I'm sure of it.
