I've been thinking a lot about how this place could be seen as a second chance. I wanted to ask... what would you do with that second chance? I know a lot of people want to find their way home but if you didn't, what then?

Too true. Unfortunately, Alters are limited to living in a place where poverty is high and government is nearly entirely hands-off, beyond meager aid and capturing dangerous subjects. You couple that with young and reckless Alters who don't know how to appropriately manage their powers, and it paints an ugly picture to anyone on the outside. We've got a nasty reputation.

Growing up in the Lost Ground was not an easy feat.

But... you're correct. I'm not remotely ashamed of my power.

It's a huge part of who I am, right?

[littlemisskate]

Yes. I am sorry that things were so difficult for you.
I've been to a few places filled with poverty and recklessness. I think I can understand a little bit, even if I didn't grow up in a place like that, it isn't easy.

Oh, no need to be sorry for me. It's not a productive use of your time; think of all the other things you could dedicate that energy to. Better you didn't end up in the same boat either way.

The name's Cougar, by the way! It's a pleasure to meet you.
