He did, but... that was more or less how I was treated by many people. The people in Rodya and Gregor's team were kind to me. And... my best friend was kind to me as well. She... died during the expedition. The gas mask... is originally hers.
In truth, I... didn't have time to process her death, but that's par for the course. In regards to Hopkins... there is no punishment for someone doing that to someone who's shunned in The City. It's how it is... and that's why I won't be returning.
[ she knows yuri doesn't want to return. that's fine. she thinks yuri should go where she will be happier.
she walks the few steps over to hug yuri. ]
He deserves retribution. [ whether or not people in the City care or not. whether or not yuri cares or not. shouxue cares. ] Have you chosen where you're going?
[ shouxue has no optimism for their future just yet, but she feels she can still ask this. ]

[ it is better if yuri thinks nothing of him, but that's the kind of man who's scum. ]
