You're sweet, Tim. But I know no place is completely safe, not even Rapture. I just... I suppose I'm not accustomed to having it thrust in my face. That's the risk of progress. We become entirely too aware of the dangers in the world.
[She sighs deeply, and to her credit she doesn't cry, despite her misty eyes.]
Oh, don't worry about me. I'm tougher than I look. But you ought to look after yourself. Especially as a newcomer to the city, I worry... I don't know. People tend to fear what they don't understand. If uncertain times are coming, well...
[She shrugs helplessly. She's seen it happen before, the post-war xenophobia.]
