It's... confusing.

[She sighs.]

I think... I know a little about it. There were this guy in Daonna. [Uncomfortable pause] Yuri got into a fight.

The people I met in Leathann acted all different ways too, when they got letters from friends and family about the Void. Is... it always like this?

[To end her earlier statement, she thinks, people with hearts were confusing. She didn't know a lot about them, not being able to remember having one herself. But she would have expected that having one would make things simpler, not more complicated.

...no. [He answers, but he's also not sure he's right.] At least I don't think so. This has just started getting really bad as the Void keeps getting closer. But people are always a little confusing. The thing about people is that their opinions and thoughts change all the time. You've gotta learn to work with them but...it's not always easy. [A pause. He doesn't say anything about Yuri getting into a fight because that doesn't surprise him, really, but that's also not the point here. It means Xion's seen things first-hand.]

The one thing that people have in common is that they act different than they normally would when it's out of fear. Some people are braver, some people are more ruthless, and some people hide. The Natives? A lot of them are acting out of anger because they're afraid of what they're gonna lose, I think. It's kinda the same reason some of us are fighting, too.

Things might go back to normal someday, but who knows when that'll be? [A rhetorical question.] Stay safe until you get back to our territory, okay?
