Mark had honestly never expected to be anyone's guide, let alone on a question that their entire sense of self depends on. He knew one thing above all others, he had to answer her truthfully, and having seen all she had been through in her life there was only one true answer.<br/>"Your question... you have changed, you have changed many times, and you will change many more, everything we do, everything we experience changes us, we scrape ourselves and our skin grows back together harder than before, we get hurt, and we become cold and unkind, putting on a shell. if you run from reality that changes you, if you get hurt that changes you... i had no right to see any of this, but if what you are looking at is your past, then you probably see us there, you see the two brave rangers, the kind but thorny rose, us hybrids, the enigmatic joker and a bright eyed girl that is mostly worried about your wellbeing. what you've experienced brought you to this point, to the point where we all are here, but wether it was worth it, wether this is something you want to keep... no outsider can answer it. I for one think the girl you've become has been a good friend, one worth cherishing and caring about. I think you're stronger than a wild beast, no, actually i KNOW you are. What we all want most now though is be able to talk to you again, so how about it, we get that wild side of yours to play nice and you take the wheel again.<br/><br/>Toni meanwhile pondered Joker's words, and much as it caused her discomfort, he was right. "i hate being helpless... never felt like this before..."<br/>Ultimately she sighed and took him aside to a more quiet corner. "well, nothing we can do there, you're right about that. So, what is the question?"
