"Yes, and I wanted to explain to you my dream. You see this place, right? This absolute hell hole that we call a city? Well, I dream of making it a better place. I mean, the solutions are right in front of us, but the corporations and families are too scared of losing their oh-so-sacred profit… so I'll just do it myself. Even if it takes me my entire life, I will change the fate of this city."
I just stayed silent, my eyes lingering on the passing crowd behind her.
"Come on, say something. Do you think I can't do it? Hm?"
"I never said that. It just… seems like a very distant goal, but if that's what you want to do, I won't stop you… and… okay, I understand why you don't want to tell me about your class. It will destroy your dream, right?"
She looked at me as if I had said something pitiable.
"It's more than that. It will destroy everything I have worked to build up to."
