The matriarch looked at her attentively, carefully observing her composure.
"If you are truly free, then how come your homeworld is now under enemy occupation? Everyone seeks power. But power comes in many forms, even if you do not seek to control others. Having power also means being able to defend what is your own. And behind your own confidence lies something else. They still smoulder, no? The embers of vengeance. What you would give to take back what has been taken from you."
Misaki returned to sit next to the matriarch, who continued talking.
"Is it truly freedom when you have been forcedly pushed away from Gran Canaria? Or are you just exiled into a life you do not want? Perhaps both. But I feel you simply took the breadcrumbs that were abandonned after someone else stole your lunch. You see, The only one who can decide your fate is yourself, but do not ignore all the doors that others have shut. They do not have the right to close off the paths you wish to take. And sometimes you need to go back and break open an old door when you resent the doorways that remain open."
