Indeed she had seen what he could do, both in combat and outside of it. She had seen the man’s abilities first hand. He had after all gotten past her and the others, despite what had been thrown at him. It was as he said, his fair to be eternal. A fate they shared-if she still had access to her Mako anyway. Still she had no intention of revealing that but yet. Not the effect it had already had upon her. ”As will I, never changing… always the same, in the mirror… every day”
But even despite that she still knew that loneliness well, she was more than familiar with it. Even as part of DEEPGROUND she never really had anyone, not really. She was just a weapon to be used, to be pointed at what needed to be dealt with. It wasn’t until Vincent and her sister got her out of all that that she met Vincent’s friends and was able to see again what it was like., until she was brought here anyway.
Though… it seemed that despite her wanting to hide her condition, at least for their reunion such a want was not meant to be. He did notice, of course he did. With a sigh she took the man’s offered hand to pull her up from the beach, looking off to the side as the rain continued it's constant fall, she crossed her arms across her chest, remaining silent a moment as she didn't really want to say it aloud. But eventually she would, it couldn't be avoided forever.
”I am, yes…. Quite deprived, actually… It's a problem that's only getting worse. I came here with a supply but… Makos not in this world like it is ours. I only have what I brought with me, or what I might get off other people from our world if they came…. It's… not that it's not working, it's that I'm beginning to run really low on what I have left, I'm having to ration it just to get by. Hence…. The way I am now”
Her eyes, of course, her abilities some.. but thankfully not to a degree to hamper her… yet.
”Of course I know Vincent… I'm not ignorant. It has been the majority of my life to be a Tsviet, there experiments… everything, they took from me the ability to grow, my life… freedom… even the ability to sustain myself like a normal human. Once I run out of Mako….”
She trailed off, not really wanting to voice that thought-aloud or in her mind. It was thanks to her interactions with Vincent and the others that she had grown to care about living again. She couldn't express it, but she did feel it inside-facing that truth was difficult for her after all that. It hurt.
I'm ways it made her wish she had not gotten that will once more, but then she wouldn't have experienced what she had so far if she hadn't. Met the new people she had, she wouldn't have seen Vincent again, all bad things in her eyes. He continued speaking and she listened closely, without interruption as he spoke. She had expected him to not care about people not liking him, but it was a thing to be advised of none the less, for planning if nothing else.
She was the focus? That was an odd feeling. She wasn't entirely sure how that felt to her. Certainly it should feel nice to lost, but then she wasn't most. Her emotions and how she expressed them were largely muted-it was difficult to truly express them well. Still… she was pretty sure Vincent caring about her well being was…. A nice thing. A thing she liked. Yeah she was sure of it.
”Thanks Vincent… I'm not sure, what way that could be, but.. I would like to find something. There's an Inn nearby here, I don't know for sure if they'll opt to serve us, but we'll be able to discuss things there if nothing else, as you wish to- this way”
She motioned with her hand, leading her partner down the street and, soon into the Inn. It wasn't a long way, just a short way down the road. The thing was when they entered it would be just as Shelke said, glares, stares, clear mumbling… Looking to Shelke one would see how used to it she was. It didn't phase her at this point, well it hardly did to begin with-she hadn't much cared what people outside of a small group thought about her for a long time.
The Bartender was just as unwelcoming as the others, but they would be allowed in, a drink to if they pressed it-but Shelke wouldn't she had the person here she cared for and that was enough.
”Right… you want to focus on me, but … what is it you want from this city Vincent? You know I'm not going to just leave you alone on it, even if it's done later”

It was hard for Shelke to express how she felt, both inside and out. That was just how she was, a result of her many years in DEEPGROUND. But if she were to try and express to someone how she felt upon seeing the man before her?
It would be ‘happy’
Indeed, it might not come off that way to any observer, but she was. For that man was the man she had wanted to find since coming here, at the least before her Mako ran out. There was a relief through her body as she sighed, looking up towards the rainy sky, the slightest hints of a smile on her face as she gave a chuckle that came off as more of an echo. She wasn't so good at laughing either, clearly. It was ironic, that so many things were on her mind, yet she was so bad at expressing them. Yet the first thing on his mind? Was a question, for her. Among the many things that could be asked he wanted to know “Did I catch you”
So naturally, rather than give her answer at first, the man would instead receive a scolding. Well, what a scolding could be called from Shelke, anyway, the tone certainly didn't come across that way.
”If you know how this place is, Vincent Valentine, you know that it's a risk to approach me so casually, it is difficult to believe you would not do your research on the matter. What if I still considered myself apart of DEEPGROUND, what if this was a trap to ensnare you? In an area like this? It's perfect for an ambush”
Another off key laugh, and she shook her head.
”But then, you woudnt be able to see me if I was out to get you, it would be far more effective to use stealth than something like this, moreover… I wouldn't know to, I suppose”
But then, Nero or Weiss could have made such a trap, but they were far… different in such methods.
She then looked to Vincent himself, finally opening her mouth to answer his question.
”You should stop trying to bring more sins upon yourself, you caught me, and I kept going after. All was well-the world kept going”
She then pushed herself up off the bench she was on, turning to face him once more.
”How long have you been here? This world, I mean. You should note to, this city in particularly isn't fond of people not from this world, they look at them with great disdain”
Dull eyes, but not fully so, she still had some with her after all. But how long would that last? In any case it was not a matter she wished to bother Vincent with as soon as she saw him again.

The people of Sonora, for the majority despised outworlders. For the entire time she had been here she only received dirty looks. Even the ones that hired her to do jobs made it clear they only did so to use her abilities as a weapon. Shelke was unsure how to feel about it. Perhaps she should have felt more angry, more sad, more offended... Something. But it was hard for her to express and process her emotions most of the time. From the way she saw things she was just completing an objective, trying to move forward. Find a solution to her problems, find Vincent. Find someone she was familiar with.
Well, there were some she didn't want to run into, and hoped wearnt even here-but she would cross that bridge if she got to it, though an absent minded rubbing if her neck reminded her of her last encounter with one of her old 'teammates' a wound that had long since healed, physically at least but persisted mentally even now.
She did not want to encounter Nero, she didn't want to encounter any of them. She'd sooner wish to hear they kept the fate they held in her own world. She looked up to blaring light filled sky, pondering to herself. If that were to be the case she would be the last Tsviet still walking. Perhaps not for much longer if she couldn't solve her issue but... She was for now. It was strange, she used her real name more these days, but she still took some pride in that title. Perhaps it was simply because it was part of who she was in the end. She was Shelke Rui, Shelke The Transparent, a Tsviet.
She knew also that this place, to her had the same feeling as Deepground. Selfish people caring only for themselves, people who used you... Controlled you. She knew that to most of the people here she was no better than the monsters or people she was sent after. She remembered spying on one before picking up her payment.
"And if they take each other out all the better! One less stay on this place"
It was this kind of situation that she knew she should have a stronger reaction to. Would Yuffie slap her here as well? No... Those situations were different enough she'd probably just be called one of her... Odd quips.
The only exceptions she had found in this town were Lunafreya, the woman who had lost her memories, and Lorenzo-the butler working for a woman she hasn't yet met. Her current employers, the people she was helping as a focus. Perhaps Lorenzo's boss was also a good person, but she could not say yet. Perhaps her definition of a good person wasn't the right on to begin with, who knew? She did know there company was nice, and that was enough for her, she liked having company like that.
Rain continued to fall around her. She saw other people go back into there homes, right, for most people it was a bother wasn't it? She found the drip nice. Sometimes she liked to try and count the drops she heard make impact. Perhaps a silly pass time, but it was enjoyable for her.
Right now both her new employers were resting, but she needed to go for a walk. Rain was nicer than most people thought, though maybe it just didn't affect her the way it did other people.
Drip, drip, drip.
She took a seat on a nearby bench, the rainfall having long sense flattened her head hair onto her neck. She stared up to the sky, even now, even with all this rain the lights penetrated through it all.
"A pure sky is .. a much better view"
She just needed to sort out her thoughts, and her goals. Perhaps someone would come along... Or perhaps they woudnt. Ether way.... She just needed to figure everything out. Figure it out before the last drop came.

"Amateurs..."
Why couldn't they just stand down? There was no way they were going to be able to take a Tsviet down, it was foolish of them to try. They brought this upon themselves in the end, there greed and overconfidence guiding there hand. She only hoped this didn't get around. Outlanders already weren't liked here. It wouldn't do her any good to have her work opportunities muddied by being labeled an aggressive outlander or something. Sure it was in defense of someone, but it wasn't like most of the people here were the understanding sort. All it would take was a few bad rumors and her jobs might dry up, and with that her ability to gain leads. If she had something more solid that wouldn't be a problem but as things were that was not the case. For now she would converse with the one she had protected, one of her original targets-before that went down the drain.
Sigh... yet another thing that might sour her hiring reputation, but oh well. It was important to follow what her heart said right?
Right, Vincent?
"Of course, my training is more than enough for common street thugs, there chances of bringing harm were low"
Why did she protect her? How did she answer that? giving the full details wouldn't be the best option, after all it would involve revealing her original goal in the process. But... that didn't mean she couldn't tell part of it. Her expression, her tone kept the ever present monotone it always maintained. She knew it gave the wrong impression sometimes, how she sounded, even moved like she was emotionless at times... but she couldn't help it, all she could do was try to express herself as best as she could manage.
"Why.... I am not...completely sure. It just... seemed like the right thing to do. My heart..."
She placed her hand over chest, the slightest of frowns on her face as she did.
"It simply told me it was what I must do, protect you from those people who would do you harm. I.... apologize if that is not glamorous enough, it is not much more complicated than that"
The poor woman was clearly interested in her explanation being something more. It as to bad she had to disappoint her but what more could she do? She wasn't the type able to come up with some fantastic tale of why she came to he woman's aide.
"I...am sorry it that is not up to your standard"
As the older male came back in Shelke's gaze immidelty went toward him, hand returning to her weapon in an instant before her grip relaxed upon seeing who it was. She nodded.
"There was... a more experienced one I handled on the way here, if that lessens any disappoint in your calculations"
That person was her of course, but it wasn't necessarily that much of a lie was it? A more formidable foe had indeed been taken care of. Shelke closed her eyes briefly, thinking things over in her head. They would open again when she turned back to Luna.
"Did you both need... further protection? I have my prices but more than that my main want in exchange... I'm looking for someone, If I'm able to and... trying to find a solution to a problem with... me. As you have seen I'm a plenty capable fighter, and My... heart... tells me it would be wrong to leave this woman alone. So if such an arrangement could work to both your benefit I could... be of aide to you"
Perhaps a long shot, but sometimes there was nothing to it but to try. Yuffie did that a lot, She was far better at it than her but.. She could try to take from her book, at least this once. Put herself out there-take a bit of a risk.
After all, the worst they could say was no, right?

The thugs received a glare from Shelke as they spoke to her, an empty look. She was hearing there words, and processing them. But in her mind she had already moved to the next step, that being defeating them, laying them out on the ground and ending this conflict. This was the choice she had made after all. They were nothing more than a trio of immature thugs, not thinking on what they should be more concerned about. They were so hooked on what she looked like, that she appeared to be a child that they didn't focus on the fact she had already taken down one of their members, and that they would soon be following suit. It was foolish of them, but not a concern for her. A sigh escaped her lips as she shook her head.
"Is that your choice?"
Her answer was simple and to the point, she had already given her answer and so all that was left was for them to stand down, or to not-it was becoming clear what there choice was. As she stood there firmly, her weapons pointing forward at the things, she noticed the man walk off, presumably to finish his business with the other. That only left the blonde woman to keep safe in this, it would make things easier. What was less easy was the woman she was attempting to protect moving forward, her movements indicated a want to get involved in the battle at hand. She had no way of knowing the woman's abilities, but it was a risk factor she did not wish to account for. She could handle thugs, aid was not needed in this scenario.
"Stay back, I am trained, they are not strong"
It would, though unintatilly serve as an insult at the thugs, but given how Shelke spoke it perhaps didn't give the best impression to the one she was trying protect ether. The woman picked up a weapon and Shelke frowned in response shaking her head. The desire to protect ones self made sense, even if it was more of a hampering thing in this case. As far as Shelke knew this woman had no combat ability or anything else to aid her, and she needed to operate off that assumption.
"Stay near me, at least"
She then looked to the thugs themselves, no doubt preparing themselves for combat by this point. She didn't see bravery, or courage, she didn't even see determination. She saw foolishness and greed.
"I'm afraid..."
Her words would hang in the air for a moment, perhaps even boosting the thugs egos as it did so.....
"Your heads are made of stone"
'Shock Spear' her twin energy weapons were drawn from their sheath as she stared down her opponents, She couldn't move to quickly lest her foes choose to target the one she protected, but she'd also need to handle them quickly. She had no qualms using her weapons and abilities to bring these three down. She would move forward, her movements like something of a dance thanks to her agile nature, a rapid barrage of attacks would rain down on them. She chose to focus her attacks on one person at a time, while using more quick guards with her sabers if they attempted to return fire on her, following this she would use the one of those attacks as leverage to propel herself into the air just slightly via her sabers, twisting her body in a mid flip and connecting her heel with one of the thugs faces in a swift kick!

She wasn't sure such a simple thing deserved thanks. If anything it should be the people who actually helped her who were given thanks, all Shelke would be able to provide was a name, perhaps an introduction if the relivent people were in fact n this world. Shelke herself was doing nothing to make Stacy's situation better, at least not in her eyes. She was a go between, nothing more. Yet still... She nodded in acknowledgement of her thanks, a mild, half smile on her face as she did.
Everyone wanted to be free... that seemed accurate to her. She wanted to be free, Stacy did, Vincent did. From her own observations it seemed to be true. She wished to live her own life now that she was free of DEEPGROUND, it was a life Vincent and her sister had helped her to obtain. She wished to make the most of the life gifted to her by them, even if she didn't completly understand how to do so. After all, there was still a ten year old void in her life she needed to feel with the experiences she had missed out on. To fill with sensations she hadn't been able to see, or feel. To talk about things she hadn't been able to.
To just... live life, now that she was free to do so. For so long she was used to doing what she was told, being directed to execute her objectives. Yes.... even if she didn't completely understand it yet, she knew that the new experience was nice. She knew that she liked it and that she wanted to learn more.... to see more. She wanted to experience the world and everything it had to offer. Yes... and she was free to do so.
Yes, she could understand the want to be free.
"Yes... I believe your right, I have liked having my own freedom... being able to learn, and experience things as I wish, to live my life. It is.... nice, for so much of my life i didn't have that because of Shinra... because of my time in DEEPGROUND. Your theory makes sense to me, for so long I didn't rebel, I did as told. Maybe it is just... what they did to me. But now.. I would never want the ability to make my own choices taken away again. I believe I would fight against any attempt to take this freedom away again. I don't fully understand what I want to do with it but... I want to keep it"
She crossed her arms, looking down to the ground as she spoke those words. It was true. She couldn't imagine these things being taken from her. Her own choices, her own actions, from the simplest things to the most complicated, the were all for her to decide now.
She didn't understand it. She didn't always know what to do. Perhaps that didn't make her enough of a person yet. But... she still wanted to keep these options, she wouldn't give them up.
"Yes I.... think you are complelty correct in this STACEE"
Shelke gave a light smile, a light chuckle escaped her lips as STACEE thanked her. Perhaps it was one of those few things Shinra didn't mess up. One experiment, one creation that didn't leave disaster in it's wake. Maybe this was the first time the people who kidnapped her had done something so perfectly it was worthy of nothing of praise.
Or maybe
"I believe it more than just there programming it is... the feeling you give, I am not... the best at describing such things, but there is a warmth behind your words that is nice, regardless of it being in how you were made. That, I think is what feels human, If I were to make a guess"
She couldn't claim to be enough of an expert to know for sure of course, she was still so green to it all after all.
It would take time.... She would need to last as long as possible then, or else find a solution in the meantime. If Vincent was here she refused to give out before she saw her friend again. Vincent gave her a precious gift, she wanted to return that favor-even if he would not insist such a thing was needed.
"That is fine, I can wait as long as needed, we can get in contact if you do find something, in the meantime, I'll find a solution, even if temporary, to my own situation"
STACEE's explanation got another small chuckle out of the smaller girl. She certainly had a way with words that was for sure. It was comforting in its own way.
"Yes, I do understand STACEE, the explanation makes sense. it is foreign to you still, and it will take time, much like learning a new place or a new language, I understand that, please take your time. I would not wish for something to be missed due to a feeling of being rushed"
Shelke gave a smile at Stacee's understanding, a more warm one, conveying more than she had been, and nodded.
"Stacee, all lower case, understood, I will remember and only use it in the future, we can both leave those things behind us both, yes. .....thank you again, Stacee. It... perhaps doesn't sound like it, but your help means a lot"
Her tone of voice that is, when you spoke the way she did most of the time people tended to get the wrong message, but... that didn't seem the case here. She hoped Stacee was successful but even if she was not... she was glad to have had this meeting with her regardless.
It was.... a nice thing, to meet someone so similar... so very similar, and yet different than yourself.

The job itself didn’t bother her of course, She had done much worse in her life than interrupt some petty smuggling deals, large operations or not. It would be easier for her if the people she was to intercept were just thugs, or arrogant brats. She would have no issue dispensing such people. Instead one of her targets was this innocent, princess like figure. She was what made this difficult. The old man only made her think of Hojo. She had no doubt she would feel indifferent about the one they were meeting. But this girl was innocent in the matter. From all she could tell the blonde was along for the ride for the most part. It reminded her of herself, it reminded her of her sister.
Shalua…..
Yet she had to look out for herself to did she not? She had to keep going, to find an alternative before she ran out. Find her friend if she could, it would be nice. What would he think of this situation she wondered?
Probably something about forging her own path if she had to guess, He didn’t tell her what to do before ether, even if they had to fight. She appreciated that about him, others gave orders, only told her what to do. Vincent didn’t do that. It was kind of ironic she was in that situation again after all the efforts they had gone through but… she could leave this one if she wished.
A cold gaze looked over the thugs that approached, laughing like imps corning their prey. A light frown came to her face as she saw the blonde attempt to stand her ground. Could she fight? If She could it clearly wasn’t with a degree of expertise going by her stance.
She didn’t even know these people, especially not that woman.
Yet…. she knew that feeling.
That feeling of not being able to stop what was coming. Of someone having power over you, to decide your fate before you could. Her gaze turned to a woman not to far away, clearly the target.
It would be so much easier to leave them be, so much easier to let the two groups sort themselves out and go for her target.
The clock was ticking, a choice needed to be made. As her mind clashed with her heart, memories of a wise man came to her mind.
Although, it seems like there are a lot of people around me who don't need a reason to risk their lives for that of another
Maybe….. It was just as simple as that.
She found her body moving before she gave it another thought, swift, and agile She sped over to the blonde. The next sound ether group would hear would be a crackle of energy. That’s the only sound that would be her before one of them felt the sting of her sabers across their person, sending them reeling back. As the likely shocked group organized themselves they’d come face to face with the cold glare of a woman, an amber glow to her eyes.
It was a person they might mistake for a child, a pre teen or teen at best on first glance if not for her attire and the expression she wore. The girl looked at the group sternly, her back now to the blonde and the old man, likely also shocked at the new participant.
”Leave, now. That was a warning blow, the next… won’t be as gentle. You do not want to know what it’s like to fight a Tsviet”
The way she expressed her words was as cold as her expression, one of her sabers pointed straight at the members of the gang, clearly at the ready if they chose to foolishly charge despite her warnings.
”Choose, Now”
She had yet to address the two behind her, Shelke was a woman focused on what she set her mind to, talking to them can wait, putting aside that she still wasn’t sure how to end that situation as is.

Conflicts of the heart and mind
She had yet to find a solution to her issue. Her supply continued to run ever short, and there would come a time when it would affect her performance and... worse. Because of this she continued her search, because of this she hoped the A.I was successful in finding Vincent. It would be nice to have his support going through this right now, perhaps he even knew of a way himself.
Vincent Valentine.....
She mused over the red cloaked man in her mind. Her friend, A man who had taught her much. She did not want to continue to rely on him for things, when he had already done so much for her, but nether did she want to continue to be alone through this-moreover if she couldn't....
No... not an option, she would find a way out of it, she would continue to live this new life she had been gifted. To this end she had continued to take jobs as well in an attempt to get herself out in the world, though she had yet to leave Sonora itself, comfortable with the familiarity it gave. She would likely need to at some point, moreover if jobs took her outside this place but for now... this was how things would be handled, handling jobs within this place. Though she had to admit this job in particular left a bad taste in her mouth. She was to follow the other end of this meeting bound to happen, to stalk and keep an eye of them. This was an easy enough feat in itself, her abilities made such a thing easy with her cloaking skills. What left a bad taste in her mouth was the people she was currently stalking. A butler was one thing she supposed. They could be used for a variety of secretive purposes. Shelke was not an ignorant person. She knew she had been hired to assist in taking whatever product this pair was going for along with the rest of the group currently causing there own commotion not far from her. Her objective was simple. Logically there should be no barriers to her carrying it out.
'if things go south, just take em out and bring us the stuff'
A simple matter
A simple process
A simple retrieval T The possibility of the butler possessing some rudimentary ability to defend himself was an option, but the woman clearly was not so. Everything about this said that should it come to Shelke needing to move it would a very simple matter.
So why did this irk her so?
Why was her mind so plagued with feelings of how wrong this move was.
Simple... Simple...
They could not see her, and by the time they did they would be on the floor and she would have the item in question.
Objective Complete
That's all there was to it, nothing complicated about it.
That's what her mind said.
So why did her heart stir so much against the move?
Why did moving behind these to, as she had so many times before seem so wrong to her, why did it put such a pit in her stomach.
It would come soon, she was sure. Moves would be made, the item would come into view.

She didn’t know, that was far less assuring. Not that this was Stacee’s fault of course. You could hardly control things like this. A program was a program at the end of the day, even one like Stacee. As alive as she felt, as much free will as she seemed to have, that was still the case. Perhaps that was why it was easier to talk to her, with that knowledge. With that feeling of relation within her. Their situations were different of course…. Yet she couldn't help but feel they were similar in a way. It was the core of things she supposed. Both of them were used, controlled, and now… just wanted to live.
Well Stacee help and live, but details.
Something Shinra made not going as intended? What a surprise, definitely a first. It was not as if there was a pattern here or anything. About the only thing that would surprise her at this point was if the Turks went rouge. But then, she expected the leaders to rouge before the Turks might, so maybe she was just bias in that regard.
”You make a good point, I do not know the general advancement of this world, but this area at least seems sufficiently so, at glance. It may be possible for someone to do that if it's what you wish… I could name a few from our world that could help, but whether they are even here, I do not know, and my knowledge of this place is only surface deep right now”
It was a conundrum to be sure. To take out the bad, but for them not to manipulate anything else, who she was.. How she acted… it was the risk this type of procedure posed, and it was why you had to to be able to trust whoever was gong to do it to you. When you didn’t have people like that… you got DEEPGROUND, You got her, you got every off put experiment Shinra ever performed.
”I can understand wishing to be free of them. Shinra influence is never a good thing, that i’ve seen. The pain they’ve visited upon the world and the individual, intenual or otherwise has stacked up immeasurably. My own situation is such an example… ”
She stared down at her own hand, opening and closing her palm as she thought over what she had been through, seperation, pain, all she had done… her dependency on Mako… which she had unable to find more of in this world.
Slowly…. It would run out, if she didn’t figure out a solution…
That would be it, she didn’t want to think about that.
Stacee’s words… made sense. Was that not what Vincent and his friends had done time and time again? A gloved hand rubbed her chin in thought. Dealing with difficult, impossible situations… was that truly when people found their greatest strength? Facing DEEPGROUND had seemed similar… And yet… heh… maybe Stacee was right, and maybe this situation was something she could overcome, just a hard point she needed to stay determined though. If she stayed strong like her friends, like her sister and Vincent… maybe she could get through this ”No offense… but you do this better than most humans I have see, I suppose that's the point, however… I hope you are able to obtain what you wish. You are helping me… If I can return that assistance… I will, just ask when it’s needed”
It was no guarantee..but she would try. That was enough. Vincent was in her data base, so she should be able to recognise him if he was here, if he was… she wanted to find him. Vincent was her friend, and the person she truly trusted. If she could trust anyone it was Vincent Valentine, she knew that.
”Thank you.. He is.. Important to me. A close friend, if i can find him I wish to be by his side and be of use to him”
She nodded her understanding regarding her restrictions. It did seem incredibly uncomfortable to go through, so she could not blame her for not wanting to go through it, nether did she want her to. Shelke frowned at her wording. Yeah.. a lot of ‘property’ damage indeed. They had hurt a lot in their time, her included. She did a lot she regretted now…
”They have… I did to, I don’t want to see them any more than you, It’s my wish to leave that part of my life behind me, where it belongs. I’m Shelke now, just Shelke… the person, you know?”
She was a person and she mattered… even if she didn’t fully understand everything behind those words, she did belive them, she knew what they meant in essence, and she wanted to follow them.
