"They're not," she replies, shaking her head. "Part of me is grateful because I don't have to worry about them being hurt by this place, but..."
She trails off for a moment. There are also so many possibilities. She has a whole house - a luxury that they've never been able to afford. Between her powers and the local economy, she could truly provide for them. Not to mention, potentially find a solution for her severely ailing mother - something that's been far beyond their means back home.
"What if I could make my mom healthy new kidneys? I'd have to study a medical textbook about kidneys to make sure I got it right, but I actually know someone who's a medic here."
There's a mix of hope and sadness in her voice. She trusts Robby enough to confide in him like this. However, she doesn't want to dwell on what she can't change and she doesn't quite feel like pouring her heart out, so she addresses his other question.
"I've made a bunch of friends here. Weird as it might sound, I'm actually helping a couple of them with their anger issues. It's helping with mine. I've been volunteering a couple of days a week at the local orphanage. And don't laugh, but I'm going to be performing in a musical. They're doing Chicago of all things."
