Finding the probable reason they weren't on the same page, Christian said,
"Well, here's where you're wrong."
"There are other worlds, well, at least one, with its people already here, in our country."
"And this academy will be run by a group of them, with no one allowed to interfere. So, do you understand?"
"Your situation isn't as hopeless as you think it is."
Eva was a little surprised by the revelation made by Christian, but after a moment, she gathered herself, calmed down, and, with a smile, said,
"I knew that, though? In the first place, when I said 'bad,' it was never about my life being threatened, as I also knew it would take some time for my situation to become truly hopeless."
"But does my current situation, essentially a prison, a cage, feel fine to you?"
"To me, it's not… it's suffocating!"
Pausing and chuckling, Eva added.
"Well, it's already too late for me, anyway."
