[ She passes a hand over her head, her smile crooked. ] Um... anyway, back then... I guess you could say I failed at getting away from them. I tried, but in the end... I still did what they -- what they wanted me to do.

[ Her smile has faded, and she looks thoughtful. ] When I got here, I was scared. I thought people would hate me for having been one of them... I thought they'd hate me for what I was.

[ She doesn't say that it's because she's a Replica. But she can sympathize with Ralph thinking he's bad because he was "made to be" - after all, so was she. ]

Working for them was what ... I was made to do. Like you. But when I got here... everything changed! It was so hard for me to accept for such a long time, but I made so many friends and discovered so many new things. I realized I didn't have to be what they wanted me to be. I could just be... me. [ She smiles up at him again, sweetly. ]
