It's... kind of crazy, isn't it?

Some moments I hardly recognize the person I am now. When you compare it to the person who used you as a shield that first day in Starfield; shrieking, ready to accuse anyone and everyone... it doesn't seem real.

At least one of us has been consistent. But... even I can tell you're stronger than you were back then. You've faced a lot with just your own strength. You're... pretty amazing, honestly.
