her world had been painfully similar to erin's: one where your fate had been pre-written, pre-determined, where you simply had to fulfill what you were told. such would lead humanity to unprecedented prosperity -- supposedly. but much like erin herself, the world was simply not just black and white. there were so many shades of gray, so many variables and stipulations that people had to wrestle with and stumble through. it was just new territory to have to discover that, to pave your own path.
erin was reminding her so very much of luke, right now.
it feels like almost a lifetime ago that she was having a similar conversation, talking about atonement after the fall of an entire city, atop corpses and rubble.
" There will be many times where you keep getting things wrong. No one is perfect, and an entirely good person just doesn't exist. But the important thing is that you keep trying, and that you keep moving forwards. "
whether it was to atone, or to live up to those expectations, tear knows that to be true.
