. . . Becoming one at all, I don't know. How I handled the problems that came with it, that I regret. That was a conscious choice on my part, unlike my parents enrolling me in the city's power curriculum.

I was a stupid kid younger than you with no one I could trust. I came up with a stupid, idealistic idea of how to prevent conflict, and then I got used by scientists who wanted to cash in on success by working with prize research material.
