So.

Who promised you the world on a platter while you were here, that's what I want to know. Who promised you the rose garden and the happy ever after with lace and sugar and a ribbon on top without oh, I don't know... you not having to actually work for it at all? Which "they" walked up to you and said you had to trust them and they expected it from you? Mmm? Hell, I haven't even told Miles anything of the sort.

So some of you keep saying "they" lied to you. Some keep saying "they" as though it were some sort of curse word, but fact is, I don't know anyone called "They" here. And some of you keep acting as though you're being kept in jail.

I'm wondering here. Who?

From what I gather, there's folks outside these walls that're just as dangerous as the guys who came after Wisdom, or Stryker's boys who came in after the Professor.

There are a lot of hard facts that you kids are going to have to come to terms with, and one of them's that there isn't anywhere that's going to be "safe". Not unless you go underground, hide, and pretend you're not what you are.

Here at least, there's other folks in the same boat as you. That's got to be worth something.

I tried that. It didn't work.

I know there are people as dangerous outside. Those ones came in from outside, after all. I know 'tisn't necessarily safe anywhere, even though I can't say I've exactly come to terms with that. I'm not saying it isn't worth anything to be with the people here. I'm very glad to have met some of them, and I am grateful to the professor. Maybe home wouldn't be safe for me, though I'm quite sure it's safer for me than the other options some people have, and I know I can't complain.

'Tis just that I can understand being upset about getting here and then finding out that 'tis a target as well as a school.
