You plan to be homeless? [That draws Anxiety up short; she's obviously not sure what to think about it.] Wanting to give things away and help people who need it is really admirable, but aren't things more dangerous if you don't have anywhere safe to stay?

[Walker's nailed it, frankly, and she slumps when sympathized with, shoulders going down, even her hair wilting a little.] It was a lot. I-it's still a lot, but at first, with no one I know around -- it's not like I've ever been alone before, and I haven't been responsible for anything more than a single person before. It's so much pressure!

Oh! Maybe we can learn how Spring's powers work together, too.

[She's starting to perk up again, but at those final words, obviously meant to be reassuring or inspiring, she hesitates again. That is not something she would find soothing on a motivational poster.]

That's, um, definitely inspiring... Which would you say is the better thing to do? [Both seem like bad options!]
