I'm not gonna tell you that's the wrong way to do things anymore.

[She pauses and takes a breath.] Maybe you won't believe me, but I used to want to use magic to help people, too. I believed in justice and all that crap. But some horrible stuff happened to me, and after that I thought I learned what was really important. [She slumps back and glares up at the ceiling.]

I've watched you go through horrible stuff, but you didn't run away from those stupid ideals no matter how many times you got hurt. That's why I wanna know your answer, anyway. Maybe if I was as tough as you I coulda stayed straight.
