Yeah. To turn an ordinary person into someone extraordinary. Someone who could be the world's hope.

[There's no edge of bitterness to his voice, though, and he keeps his hand between her shoulder blades, gently rubbing her back and fighting the urge to try to pull her into a hug.]

But even though they tried to erase me completely... replace me with someone else entirely... it wasn't possible. Like data on a hard drive. Even once overwritten, with enough work, with enough time and energy and help from people who cared about me... I can be myself again.

I'm not telling you this to make you feel sorry for me. I'm telling you because... I think you're stronger than the Void will let you think you are, right now. I know you can come back. Maybe... not exactly the same as the person you were, but stronger for it.

[He pauses, leans in, and gently presses his forehead to her shoulder.]

I'm really grateful for what you did, Roxy.
