Mira cast her gaze down a little, sighing softly. "You know what? You're right, I suppose I always did feel like a bit of a loner. I mean, I had a few friends, but nobody I was ever overly close with growing up. I suppose that's why I invested so deeply in learning about how Mechs worked, because it was all I really had to give myself meaning in life... Sad, isn't it? I tried to ease my own loneliness by pushing people further away." Mira looked back up at Beth, and she started to smile again. "You know, I think it's all starting to make sense now, I've been feeling a whole lot better ever since I started getting out a little more, spending time with you."
