“What we do is dangerous. Sometimes we die. I don’t see why I should worry about what happens five years from now when I might not even be here.”
Fair enough. Might as well worry about the present instead, and try to survive that.
“Are you having second thoughts about being on the team?”
Vista gave Flechette a look, “No. Not in the slightest.”
I was right that Vista wasn’t sure she’d be alive in five or six years, but she doesn’t seem to be worried about that. She seems to just be treating it as a fact of life that yes, she might die before she fills 18.
“But if you’re concerned about risking your life…”
“I didn’t say I was concerned,” Vista said, a note of exasperation in her voice, “Just that, hey, it might happen. I’m being realistic.”
…exactly.
“I can’t tell if you’re being amazingly mature about the topic of death or if I should be really concerned about you.”
To me it looks primarily like the former, but… can’t it be both things?
I mean, Vista is very mature, there’s no doubt about that. But why? Has she actually had the opportunity to have a normal childhood to any reasonable extent before being thrust into the world of heroes and villains and death and destruction?
