"You live life in a way that is very...I once heard a man talk about another by saying that he tried to drink the whole bucket of water at once. That's you. You can do it, sure, but you're going to ache from it."
And it wasn't going to be sustainable, in the long term. She knows she's speaking from the point of view of someone who not so long ago whispered her own fears on relaxing enough to live a peaceful life, who didn't have a perfect foundation to stand on. But right now, peace and war don't matter. What matters is that Erin gives so much love out to others, and gets it from them, and doesn't know what they perceive.
"What do you need? You might find it in something you want. Try answering that instead."

"What do you want, Erin?"
