“Okay,” the woman answered with a note of sadness in her voice. “That’s all I wanted.”
Sounds like you want something more, though I don’t think Works-here-Lisa can give that to you. Not without help, anyway.
“Things will get better,” Lisa promised, smiling gently.
I like your optimism. 🙂
The woman smiled back in return, glancing at the open area of cots and displaced people. With a light laugh, she said, “I suppose they have to, don’t they?”
Ehhh, I don’t wanna say we’ve hit rock bottom with no way to go but up just yet. That just sounds like an invitation for the Slaughterhouse Nine to come in and fuck things up even more. Or one of the other Endbringers, for that matter. Pretty sure they’ll show up at some points (my guess is Simurgh next, Behemoth last), though perhaps not in Brockton Bay.
“That’s the spirit.” Lisa grinned.
But yes.
