She furrowed her brows: "Why tell me? What about Aria? What did you say to her?"
A laugh of self-mockery escaped Walker's throat, puzzling everyone else, "She's unwilling."
Yvonne gradually recovered her senses.
She understood the plight of Warrior Tucker.
"It's not that she's unwilling, but under the pressure of this world, she can't straighten her back. Your brilliance only casts a greater darkness upon her, and everything that has happened in the past..." she stuttered, her throat burning with acidity, "Don't you also know some of it?"

Her family was unique.
That predetermined the burdens she had to bear.
"I know," Walker acknowledged.
