[Still somewhat strained, she just grunts in the affirmative. It wasn't an ideal place to be, and now it's just a dark pit that dominates her memories.] I'll never allow anyone to restrain me in a place like that again. I won't let it happen to me or Hella. She taught me about people...She's the reason I'm not alone.

[Ninety-Nine is blunt, but she's trying to be...careful, when she talks about Hella. Hella isn't like her; she can blend in more easily with the group and make friends. Saying the wrong thing could make it harder for Hella.

Maybe if she gets this other girl talking instead, it'll be easier.] You've been alone in the past too?
