Okay...

[let's say they've walked to the playground by now. fortune's headed for one of the swings]

Did you have places like this, where you grew up?

What was your favorite thing to do in them?

That sounds like it would have been a lot of fun...

Spending time with your family is one of the best things in the world.

My family... well, they found me when I was a baby. But they always treated me like I was one of them... they were very kind.

[Her voice sounds a little wistful.]

I had a younger brother. We were close for a while, but... some things happened. I haven't seen any of them in a very long time.

[Fortune nods.]

...I don't think I'm allowed to say more than that yet. But... yes.

I might be able to, but...

[Well.]

I'd have to ask them first. I don't want to take them their home without their permission.

[She nods.]

It's a long story. I'll... probably be able to explain it in more detail later.

No... not any more than all of yours are gone. [Fortune's voice sounds a little sad.] The difference is we can't go back. We're bound to this world now.

...I think that's part of why so many of us want to win.

[Or at least, it's part of it in her case; she wants to make a world that reminds her of home.]

...I keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason, but... it doesn't really make it easier.

[Zoe probably understands that well, though.]

Yes.

[Yeah, Zoe gets it.]

...sorry. This isn't very cheerful conversation.
