DJ stopped just before Alice, staring at her for a moment before snapping her fingers. Slowly the barrier descended. "I won't force you to do anything now that you've calmed down." She said, shifting into one knee to looking into Alice's eyes. "But understand this, if nothing else. I want to keep you safe from the things you don't get understand. We all have to make mistakes, yes, but what will you learn if it leads to you getting hurt? Or even killed?" She slowly brought her arms around Alice and hugged her close. "I may not understand what it's like to be without parents, but I know what it's like to be alone. It's painful. It's cold. It's everything that we despise, no matter what kind of person we are. That's why we need family, however you define family. Because family is another thing we all need." She smiled to Alice and gently nuzzled her cheek. "Family is Love."
